IUE observations of δ Scuti variables were planned to study the correlations between chromospheric activity and dynamics of pulsations, convection, rotation and to search for evidence of mass loss. So far we observed the following stars: ρ Pup, β Cas, o1 Eri, K2 Boo, τ Peg, 69 Tau, 71 Tau and τ Cyg. Results and discussions on our survey may be found in Pasinetti Fracassini et al. (1990) and Fracassini et al. (1991).

Ultraviolet spectroscopic data (6 LWP and 3 SWP spectra) of 71 Tau were obtained with IUE in the year 1990, spanning an interval of 5h35rn and covering about 1.5 cycles of the pulsation period. The period, derived from new photometric observations, is 4h32m with an cimplitude of 0m.028. This variable is the most intense X-ray source in the Hyades cluster according to the results of Einstein Observatory.
