We show by the combined means of high-resolution photoemission measurements at low temperatures on uranium and cerium compounds (including heavy fermions) and systematic resonant data on a series of uranium narrow-band compounds, that the "two-peaked" f-electron spectrum commonly found in cerium compounds is also found in uranium compounds. The 5f spectra consist of a superposition of features consistent with the band structure ground state plus a 5f satellite due to poorly-screened final state effects. © 1987.
