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 a, even at the time of the first IUE observations.

Nova Aquilae 1982 was discovered on January 27, but was difficult to observe at first because of closeness to the sun. A number of IUE spectra were obtained by Blades and Snijders from February 24, and the results were communicated to members of the ESA + SERC nova target of opportunity team. A preliminary report concerning these spectra has been made by Snijders, Seaton and Blades (1982).
