ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCE ANALYSES WITH DAO SPECTROGRAMS .9. THE METALLIC-LINED STARS 15-VULPECULAE AND 32-AQUARII

Abstract

Following from previous papers of this study we present elemental abundance analyses of the sharp-lined bright Am stars 15 Vul and 32 Aqr. The values derived using fine analysis techniques are found using the stellar parameters, effective temperature and surface gravity, determined using optical-region spectrophotometry and Balmer line profiles as well as with the procedures of Moon & Dworetsky and of Lane & Lester. The latter star is a more extreme Am star than the former star. We also discuss possible ways to improve these analyses.
