Recent photometric and spectroscopic observations suggest AX Per might be an eclipsing binary with a period of about 682 days (Kenyon 1986 and references therein). The analysis of optical spectra taken during 1979-1986 has shown periodic minima in all observed permitted lines and a lack of any periodicity in the forbidden lines (Mikolajewska 1987; Mikolajewska & lijima 1987). A comparison of the available radial velocities with these intensity variations shows that the behaviour of emission lines is consistent with the eclipse interpretation, however the minima (especially in HI and HeI) are too broad to be consistent with eclipses even by a Roche lobe filling red giant. In the following, the UV behaviour of AX Per is analysed using IUE spectra collected during the period 1979-1984.
