Abstract

The analysis of eleven spectra of the SiEuCr star HD 112413 recorded by the SWP camera on board the International Ultraviolet Explorer reveals variations of the far-ultraviolet spectral energy distribution over a time interval of three days and five hours. Large variations are present shortwards of 2000 Å which can be partly attributed to variations of the lines and continuum of Si ii. This confirms that silicon and iron-peak elements are not distributed in a uniform manner over the surface. The FUV variations occur in antiphase with the variations of the optical brightness which probably reflects redistribution of the FUV flux toward optical wavelengths as the star rotates.
