Abstract
Observations of comets obtained with the IUE satellite since its launch in 1978 are reviewed. The status of UV observation of comets prior to IUE is discussed, and particular attention is given to low-resolution UV spectroscopy of cometary comae, the detection of new species in the UV emission, high-dispersion spectroscopy, spatial mapping of the emissions, abundance determinations, and short-term variability. Diagrams, graphs, sample spectra, and tables of numerical data are provided.
