Symbiotic star AG Peg consists of a hot subdwarf with a WN6 spectrum and a cool M3 giant, which is not filling its Roche lobe (Boyarchuk 1967, 1985). A detailed study of profiles, equivalent widths and radial velocities of emission lines in optical spectra allowed Hutchings et al. (1975) to conclude that a hot subluminous star approximately 1 M⊙ rotates rapidly and ejects material which streams towards the cool M giant with the mass 3-4 M⊙. UV observations seems to support this model.

UV observations provided from the databank of the IUE satellite were obtained in 1978–81 by different observers. The observational material consists of 12 high dispersion SWP spectra and covers the region 1200 – 2100 A. The spectra were reduced at Trieste observatory using standard IUESIPS package. The radial velocities of emission lines were measured on tracings and corrected for the motion of Earth and satellite.
