Extreme helium stars (EHes) with effective temperatures from 8000 to 13000K are among the coolest EHes and overlap the hotter R CrB stars in effective temperature. The cool EHes may represent an evolutionary link between ...

Abundance analyses are presented and discussed for eight RV Tauri variables. The RVB star UY Ara shows the abundance anomalies seen in other RVB stars, namely, elements that condense into grains at high temperature are ...

Analyses of the photospheric compositions of the four field RV Tauri stars, DY Aql, SS Gem, CT Ori, and CE Vir, indicate that to varying degrees they have experienced fractionation processes that have preferentially depleted ...

Analyses of the photospheric compositions of the four field RV Tauri stars, EP Lyr, DY Ori, AR Pup, and R Sge, indicate that to varying degrees they have experienced fractionation processes that have preferentially depleted ...

The elemental abundances of the mildly hydrogen-deficient R Coronae Borealis (RCrB) star V854Cen have been estimated. The RCrB stars have been divided into majority and minority classes judging by their abundance patterns. ...

Abundances of about 18 elements including the heavy elements Y and Zr are determined from Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph ultraviolet spectra of seven extreme helium stars (EHes): LSE 78, BD +10 ...

Chemical composition studies of the variable star QY Sge show abundance anomalies suggestive of the pattern exhibited by the warmer RV Tau variables. Abundance analysis indicates a near-solar atmosphere with highly condensable ...

The B8 primary of the eclipsing binary star Beta Lyr is subjected to high S/N ratio Reticon observations of the visible and near-IR lines of He, C, N, O, Ne, and Fe, in order to determine their abundances. N is noted to ...

An abundance analysis is reported of 58-K giants identified by Famaey et al. ( 2005 , A&A, 430, 165) as highly probable members of the Hercules stream selected from stars north of the celestial equator in the Hippar ...
