Title: 1983 observations of the eclipsing nucleus of the bipolar planetary nebula NGC 2346

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5364085

IUE data are presented of the eclipsing nucleus of NGC 2346 obtained at 3 phases of the 1983 observing season. At phi 0.02, a highly asymmetric C IV emission line is seen, but the He II line has a gaussian profile with a slight suggestion of an inverse P Cygni character. The stellar continuum in the 1200 to 1950 A region and high excitation emission lines argue for a hot subdwarf component in the binary nucleus.
