Abstract

Excitation temperatures of the peculiar objects Boss 1985, AG Pegasi and AG Carinae have been derived form the corrected intensities of the emission lines.

The values obtained are 5900K for Boss 1985, 8000K for AG Pegasi and 10500K for AG Carinae.

From the observed quantities log (I/I c), whereI is the intensity of the line andI c the intensity of the underlying continuum, the true continuum has been derived.

The results are in good agreement with those predicted in previous investigations.
