Elemental abundance studies using the EBASIM spectrograph of the 2.1-m CASLEO Observatory telescope. I. The normal stars 5 Aqr and 30 Peg

Using data from the new EBASIM spectrograph at the 2.1-m telescope of the Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO), two rather sharp-lined B stars 5 Aqr (=HD 198667, B9 III) and 30 Peg (=HD 211924, B5 IV) are being studied. The measurements are compared with those from the coudé spectrograph of the 1.22-m telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO). The equivalent width scales of the EBASIM and the DAO data are similar. As we found that the line profiles of 30 Peg are variable, we are trying to determine whether this star is a slowly pulsating B star. 5 Aqr has abundances close to those of the Sun.
