Abstract
Ultraviolet photometry from the Wisconsin Experiment Package on the Orbitin g Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO 2) is presented for 614 stars. Previously unpublished magnitudes from 12 filter bandpasses with wavelengths ranging from 1330 to 4250 Angstrom have been placed on the white dwarf model atmosp here absolute flux scale. The fluxes were converted to magnitudes using V = 0 for F(V)= 3.46 x 10(-9) ergs cm(-2) s(-1) Angstrom(-1), or m(lambda) = - 2.5 log F-lambda - 21.15. This second catalog effectively doubles the amoun t of OAO 2 photometry available in the literature and includes many objects too bright to be observed with modern space observatories.
