Although clearly a peculiar object (Anger 1933), HD 45166 has been the subject of remarkably few published optical studies. Heap & Aller (1978, HA) discuss its optical spectrum and give evidence that the object is a binary system comprising a B8v star and a hotter WR-like object, denoted qWR by van Blerkom (1978). This paper presents the first UV observations of the system obtained with IUE at the epochs listed in Table 1. These new data show drastic line (but not apparently continuum) variations with epoch, which cast doubt on the WR-connection, although herein we still adopt the notation “qWR”.
