A Search for Heavy Elements in the Ultraviolet Spectra of Ap Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The earlier attempts to detect the lines of heavy elements (Pb, U, Th and others) in the spectra of Ap-stars from the ground-based observations are briefly discussed. UV observations of Ap-stars with the ultraviolet telescope aboard ASTRON space station are described. The reduction of these data is considered. Three spectral regions containing the lines PbIIλ2203.53, UIIλ2556.19 and ThIIλ2368.05 were analyzed by the method of synthetic spectra. It has been shown that relatively cool Ap-star 73 Dra (Teff = 8l50 K) has a great overabundance (≥ 103ε⊙) of heavy elements U, Th, Pb and W.
