Abundance of heavy elements in the atmosphere of Aldebaran
Abstract
The model-atmospheres method was used to determine the abundance of heavy elements in the atmosphere of Aldebaran. The absorption lines of the heavy elements were identified by calculating the synthetic spectrum and comparing it with the Aldebaran Atlas of Kipper and Klochkova. The main result of the present work is the discovery of a number of absorption lines of r and s processes characteristic for stars of the late spectral type K5 III.
