Scientific paper

HR2554 is an eclipsing binary system that contains a G6 II hybrid-chromosphere star and an A dwarf secondary. The orbital period of the binary is 195 days. We present HST GHRS ultraviolet spectra of the grazing eclipses observed in March/April 1994 and May 1995. Absorption line profiles from a range of chromospheric and transition region ions are used to determine the temperature structure and spatial extent of the G6 bright giant's atmosphere. Generally, the transition region lines show a larger extent than the cooler lines. However, we do also detect cool plasma in distinct structures far from the limb of the G star. This work is supported by HST grant GO-05398.01-93A and NASA grant NAG5-3226.
