Object Classes

Below are the IUE target class codes with no changes (cf. IUE Observer's Guide, in IUE Newsletter 32, pg. 78, July 1987). Obviously, some of these are not appropriate for FUSE, but many are. Specifying a reasonable code number will make comparisons between the IUE and FUSE archives more straightforward.
