Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations of the binary system Capella reveal a rich emission-line spectrum containing neutral and ionic species, among them H I, O I, C III, O VI, S VI, Ne V, and Ne VI. In addition, Fe XVIII λ974.85, formed at temperatures of ~6x10⁶ K, is detected. Whereas the strong transition region lines principally come from the G1 giant, consistent with results from previous ultraviolet observations, Fe XVIII is formed largely in the G8 giant atmosphere. Line ratios from C III suggest densities of (2-8)x10¹⁰ cm^–3, although anomalous line profiles of the 1176 Å transition may signal optical depth effects.
