نویسنده
چکیده
We summarize recent results of quantitative spectral analyses using NLTE and metal line-blanketed LTE model atmospheres. Temperatures and gravities derived for hundreds of sdB stars are now available and allow us to investigate systematic uncertainties of Teff , log g scales and to test the theory of stellar evolution and pulsations. Surface abundance patterns of about two dozen sdB stars are surprisingly homogenous. In particular the iron abundance is almost solar for most sdBs. We highlight one iron deficient and three super metal-rich sdBs, a challenge to diffusion theory. SdB stars are slowly rotating stars unless they are in close binary systems which is hard to understand if the sdB stars were formed in merger events. The only exception is the pulsator PG 1605+072 rotating at vsin i = 39km/s. Signatures of stellar winds from sdB stars have possibly been found.

We report new results for the elemental and isotopic abundances of the normally rare elements mercury and platinum in HgMn stars. Typical overabundances can be 4 dex or more. The isotopic patterns do not follow the fractionation model of White et al (1976).

We present an abundance analysis of light elements in He-rich stars. The analysis is based on both low and high resolution observations collected at ESO, La Silla, Chile in the optical region and includes 6 standards and 21 He-rich stars. Light-element abundances display a diverse pattern: they range from under-solar up to above-solar values.

High resolution echelle spectroscopy in ground-based UV is a powerful facility for study of chemical evolution of early Galaxy. An atlas of high resolution (R=60000) in the poor studied wavelength range 3550–5000 ÅÅ for 4 metal-deficient stars in the interval of metallicity −3.0 < [Fe/H ] < −0.6, effective temperature 4750 < Teff < 5900K, surface gravity 1.6 < lg g < 5.0 is produced.
