Abstract
Fine analyses of the magnetic CP stars $\alpha$ Scl and HD 170973 are presented using ATLAS9 model atmospheres which have same bulk metallicity as the deduced abundances. The light elements are mostly solar except for silicon, and all the heavier elements except nickel in HD 170973, which is solar, are greatly overabundant. The iron peak elements are typically 10 times overabundant, Sr is of order of 1000 times solar, Y and Zr are of order of 100 times solar. The rare earths are 1000 or more times overabundant.


Key words: stars: chemically peculiar -- stars: abundances -- stars: individual: $\alpha$ Scl -- stars: individual: HD 170973

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
