THE SPECTRUM OF THE PLANETARY-NEBULA NGC-6567

Because of the similarity of its spectrum to that of NGC 6572 particul arly in the UV we have made a detailed study of NGC 6567 using both th e IUE for the UV region and the Hamilton Echelle at Lick Observatory f or the optical region. Plasma diagnostics suggest an electron temperat ure of about 11,500 K and an electron density near 9000 cm-3. The chem ical composition of this Population Type II, high-velocity planetary n ebula is found from ionic concentrations and a theoretical model. The ''metal''/H ratio is lower than in the sun, except for C whose abundan ce is enhanced to about 30% over the solar value and for He which may be slightly enhanced. There is no evidence of any spectral variability .
