Abstract
Theoretical spectra are compared with high-dispersion IUE observations for the 1982 atmospheric eclipse of 31 Cyg. It is found that temperature increases with height in the chromosphere, showing a range of 5,000-14,400 K for four lines of sight. Turbulence remains in the range 20-25 km/s throughout the chromosphere. The turbulence and temperature values may be lower in chromospheric gas just above the temperature minimum. The temperature-minimum region of the upper photosphere was found to have a temperature near 2,500 K. The velocity structure of wind lines of O I, Si II, Mg II, and Fe II indicates that most of the wind on the side of the K supergiant toward the B dwarf is photoionized to the next higher ionization stage. Abundances of heavy elements are shown to be close to solar with anomalies that may be the result of systematic errors in the oscillator strengths.
