Summary

We discuss results of an exploratory NLTE analysis of two metal-rich A-type supergiants in M31. Using comprehensive model atoms we derive accurate atmospheric parameters from multiple indicators and show that NLTE effects on the abundance determination can be substantial (altering results by a factor of 2–3). The NLTE analysis removes systematic trends apparent in the LTE approach and reduces statistical uncertainties. Characteristic abundance patterns of the light elements provide empirical constraints on the evolution of metal-rich massive stars.
