Appendix A: Appendix A

Appendix A.1: A.1. An alternative approach to determining Vt

In this Appendix we show the standard deviation around the mean abundance plotted as a function of the microturbulent velocity, following the approach of Sahin et al. (2011). The

dispersion of the abundances is computed for the Fe I, Fe II, Si I, and Ni I lines, while the microturbulent velocity Vt is varied from 1 to 6 km s-1. The minimum value of the dispersion is in good agreement within the different elements, confirming the values of the microturbulence (derived solely from Fe I) adopted in this study, namely 3.1 km s-1 for HQ Car and 3.8 km s-1 for DD Vel.
