Abstract

The extremely high velocity absorption components observed in the ultraviolet with IUE, could have been produced by a supercritical wind. In this case most radiation would have been emitted shortwards of Lyman α, even at the time of the first IUE observations.

Based on onservations made with the International Unltraviolet Explorer (IUE) at the Villafranca satellite tracking station operated by the European Space Agency.
