We performed for the first time a detailed LTE spectroscopic study
of a sample of blue straggler stars in the moderately old open
cluster NGC 7789. For eight stars the parameters and
abundances of several elements were determined. The cluster
members show a remarkable surface magnesium deficiency which is
quite unusual for late B - early A stars. Iron and titanium
abundances are in agreement with other photometric and
spectroscopic estimates of the NGC 7789 metallicity. All
the confirmed blue stragglers have rather low projected rotational
velocities (with one exception for K88, 
km s-1).
Key words: stars: open clusters and associations: individual: NGC 7789 / stars: blue stragglers / stars: abundances
Based on the spectra collected at Kitt Peak National Observatory, operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation, and at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center, Calar Alto, operated by the Max-Plank Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg, jointly with the Spanish National Commission for Astronomy.
