Scientific paper

In our search for evidence for the CNO processed material in the atmospheres of galactic OB supergiants we measured the equivalent widths of photospheric lines in their high-resolution IUE spectra. A sample of 36 stars was investigated and the lines He II 1640, C III 1247, N IV 1718 and O IV 1339 were studied. All ions show a well-defined dependence on effective temperature. Comparison of stars with questionable CN status with normal stars gives evidence for a decrease in equivalent widths of C III and O IV lines accompanied by an increase in equivalent widths of N IV and He II lines, which leads to abundance differences.
