Figure 6:
Osmium lines at 326.7945, 330.1559 and 442.0468 nm (as
indicated by the dotted vertical lines). The thick dotted line is
the observed solar spectrum, and the 3 thin lines correspond (from
top to bottom in each subfigure) to spectral synthesis (i) with no
osmium; (ii) with the Os abundance as listed in Table 8; and (iii) with the former standard solar Os abundance

Figure 7:
The Os I 330.1559 nm line in a carbon-rich metal-poor star. The thick
line corresponds to the observed spectrum of the CH star HD 187861. The thin lines correspond to spectral synthesis using a dedicated MARCS model without osmium, and with an osmium abundance
