We present Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra and supporting ground-based data for a sample of nine intermediate-mass T Tauri stars (IMTTSs; 1.5-4 Msolar). ... We compare our simultaneous optical-UV data with predictions from accretion shock models to get accretion luminosities and mass accretion rates (M) for the targets. ... Finally, we find that the relation between accretion luminosity and BrнЕ luminosity found for low-mass T Tauri stars extends to the intermediate-mass regime. ...
