Elemental abundance analyses with DAO spectrograms: XXXIII. β UMa (A0mA1 IV-V), Dra (A0 III), π Dra (A2 IIIs), and κ Cep (B9 III)†

摘要

This paper presents extended analyses of β UMa (A0mA1 IV-V), Dra (A0 III), π Dra (A2 IIIs), and κ Cep (B9 III) which have previously been studied in this series. Dra is a metal-poor star while κ Cep has solar abundances. Both β UMa and π Dra are Am stars. Whenever possible, more accurate and precise gf values replace older values. High S/N (200+) and high dispersion Dominion Astrophysical Observatory spectrograms to the red of previously obtained spectra supplement the observations. The derived rotational velocities are 45, 25, 26, and 23 km s–1, respectively. These LTE fine analyses use the ATLAS9 and the WIDTH9 programs of R. L. Kurucz. The results of the extended and the previous analyses are in good agreement. Thus in the past decade a significant improvement in the system of gf values has not been achieved although for many lines there have been changes. The use of additional regions has increased the quality of some results (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
