The very strong, broad absorption lines of a sdOB star continuum shown in the International Ultraviolet Explorer spectrum of the Schweizer-Middleditch star projected near the center of supernova remnant SNR 1006 are investigated. It is found that strong Fe(+) resonance absorption lines are present whose centers show zero radial velocity while their profiles are broadened by approximately 5000-6000 km/s. Also identified are redshifted Si(+), Si(2+), and Si(3+) lines at velocities of approximately 5000 km/s. Results show that the absorptions must occur in the ejecta of the supernova. The strength and symmetric width of the Fe(+) line indicates that the bulk of the ejecta is iron, in agreement with the current theory for the origin of Type I supernova. It is suggested that the previous failure to detect strong Fe emission lines in the X-ray spectra of this and other young Type I SNRs may be a result of the ejecta not having had time to interact significantly with the ambient medium. In addition, the presence of redshifted adsorption lines due to supernova ejecta in its spectrum shows that this star is located behind the SNR and is not physically associated with it.
