Abstract
An 820 minute and other long-exposure archival SWP IUE high-dispersion spectra of symbiotic star RR Tel have been combined to form a composi te spectrum. In most of these spectra many lines are saturated, but we aker features appear above the continuum. Their wavelengths were measu red from the composite spectrum and compared with the line list from a thorough study of RR Tel by Penston et al. ( 1983). Among the revised line list are 22 new line identifications from ions C III, O I, N I, Mg VI, Si I, S I, S IV, Fe II, and Ni II. N I exists inside RR Tel's H II region and is pumped by the hot component's continuum. The fluxes for all the lines in each of the spectra are presented. All of the obs erved ions show a secular flux decrease between 1978 and 1988. A list of SWP high-dispersion camera artifacts is also presented. The list wa s generated by comparing RR Tel spectra to a long-exposure sky flat.
