Metal Abundance in a Stars

R. C. Henry

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

It is shown that variations in Strömgren's [mu index in A stars are due to abundance variations rather than to microturbulence and that the calcium abundance varies by a factor of 2 in A stars near the Sun; this calcium abundance shows no apparent correlation with stellar space motion
