Early-Type Stars:  Then Again
Corcoran et al., 1993, Ap. J., 412, 792.
* The first moderate spectral
resolution observations of early-
type stars were performed with the
Solid State Spectrometer on
Einstein, but a problem with ice
buildup on those detectors reduced
their effectiveness for soft sources.
* The Broad-Band X-Ray Telescope,
flown in 1990 on the Shuttle
obtained somewhat better data.
* The spectra of z Puppis, were used
to infer the existence of ionized
oxygen absorption intrinsinc to the
stellar wind.  In addition, the
detection of Mg XI line emission
was claimed.
