The first ultraviolet spectrum of the southwest (SW) component of the symmetrical jet in the R Aquarii binary system has been obtained in the range 1200-2000 A with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). These results are compared to more encompassing spectra (1200-3200 A) of the central H II region taken at the same time and also similar spectra of the northeast (NE) jet component obtained 6 months earlier. Moreover, optical spectra of both the NE and SW jet components in the range 3400-9800 A were obtained within ~ 6 months and ~ 1 month, respectively, of the ultraviolet spectra. These …
