Abstract

We present selected results from an investigation that is currently underway to determine the abundances of light and Fe group elements in early B stars and assess the extent to which contemporary NLTE and LTE models represent their atmospheres. Spectral data of B stars that display ultrasharp lines, obtained with HST, FUSE, and the KPNO Coudé Feed Telescope, are compared with computations from TLUSTY/SYNSPEC and SYNTHE. The B stars include the abundance standards ι Her (B3V), HR 1886 (B1V), and HR 1887 (B0.5V).
