Scientific paper

Short- and long-wavelength IUE spectra of the rather strongly reddened, high radial velocity Herbig-Haro object HH 32A have been obtained. The object is well known for its large positive radial velocity and for its unusually large velocity dispersion. In consequence of the large ultraviolet extinction, the spectra are faint. The semiforbidden C III 1909 and Mg II 2800 emission lines are, however, clearly detected, and their fluxes can be measured with reasonable accuracy. C IV 1550 and Si III 1892 are very probably present. The continuum can be detected convincingly in the wavelength range 1500-1900 A. In other regions it is just barely detectable. The continuum has an energy distribution which is probably very similar to that of HH 1 and HH 2H. If an average galactic extinction curve is used, the line fluxes for semiforbidden C III 1909 and C IV 1550 indicate a shock velocity of at least 140 km/s which is higher than for HH 1 or HH 2. If a Theta Ori-type extinction curve is used instead, ultraviolet line ratios are obtained which are rather similar to those in HH 1 and HH 2.
