RESUMEN

We present the extreme ultraviolet (75-110 angstroms) spectrum of the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304, the first spectrum of an extragalactic source obtained with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer. The spectrum shows a generally smooth continuum, which can be modeled by a single power law plus interstellar absorption, and possibly an absorption feature at approximately 80 angstroms. The best fit to the data suggests that the EUV spectrum can be interpreted as a simple extrapolation of the X-ray continuum, with an energy index alpha approximately 1.6; however, shallower or steeper power laws with indices between -0.4 and 2.7 cannot be ruled out by the existing EUV data alone. The data provide strong constraints on the interstellar neutral H and He along the line of sight. Using a column density of 1.36 x 10(20) cm-2 for the Galactic neutral hydrogen along the PKS 2155-304 line of sight, the neutral helium column density is constrained to be 9%-10% of the hydrogen amount.
