ResumoUltraviolet photometry from the Wisconsin Experiment Package on the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO 2) is presented for 614 stars. Previously unpublished magnitudes from 12 filter bandpasses with wavelengths ranging from 1330 to 4250 A have been placed on the white dwarf model atmosphere absolute flux scale. The fluxes were converted to magnitudes using V = 0 for F(V) = 3.46 × 10-9 ergs cm-2 s-1 A-1, or mλ = -2.5 log Fλ - 21.15. This second catalog effectively doubles the amount of OAO 2 photometry available in the literature and includes many objects too bright to be observed with modern space observatories.
