The radial velocity and profile variations of UV lines of the shell star ζ Tau have been examined in the IUE spectra obtained in 1978-1982. The neutral atoms, and once or twice-ionized ions (except C II, Al III, Si III resonance lines) follow the same velocity variations as in the visual spectra, while the Si IV and C IV resonance lines show a constant negative velocity (~ -50 km s− at the core). The Al III, C II resonance lines and probably Fe III (mult. No. 34) are formed in both regions, i.e., in lowly-ionized and highly-ionized regions and the Si III resonance line is formed in a highly-ionized region.
