The Advanced Spectral Library (ASTRAL): Abundance Analysis of the CP Star HR 465

We present the results of a spectrum analysis of the prototypical A-type magnetic CP star HR465. Synthetic spectra, using an non-LTE atmosphere model, were generated to fit high-resolution ultraviolet spectra (1200-3100 A) obtained as a part of the "Advanced Spectral Library (ASTRAL) Project: Hot Stars" program (GO-13346: Ayres PI). The ultraviolet data were supplemented by high resolution optical data recorded at the Nordic Optical Telescope with the SOFIN spectrograph. The optical data was used as a complement to the high line density ultraviolet spectrum and primarily used to derive accurate iron-group element abundances.HR 465 has previously been analyzed using IUE spectra. We revisit the object with this high quality data. Large parts of the spectrum have been synthesized with an ATLAS model (Teff=10750K, logg=4.0) and we present abundance results for more than 50 elements. We can confirm some of the abundance characteristics previously derived from IUE data, where elements heavier than Z=30 show significant abundance enhancements compared to solar values, while some of the lighter elements show abundance deficiencies. We will place these results in context of other AP stars, and the large number of element abundances will also help us to put some constraint on stellar abundance and evolution theories.
