Abstract
The ultraviolet spectra of 32 planetary nebula nuclei have been examined with the IUE. Ultraviolet and UV-to-optical flux ratios are derived, from which color temperatures are derived. The distribution of the latter ranges from rough agreement with the Zanstra temperatures upward to infinite values. The high-luminosity stars have generally lower, determinable color temperatures; the infinite or indeterminable color temperatures are contained by the set of lower luminosity stars. About half the stars exhibit a mixture of line features, most commonly He II 1640 A and C IV 1550 A in emission or absorption. Three display clear P Cygni lines, while a fourth appears to display a remarkably broad C IV 1550 A P Cygni profile. The other half of the stars have no perceptible line features.
