Some remarks on the origin of the abundance anomalies in HgMn stars.
Abstract
The properties of HgMn stars are reviewed and discussed. The results about their membership in binary and multiple systems, their magnetic fields, and the probable inhomogeneous distribution of some chemical elements over their surfaces are summarized. Based on these new insights, directions for future research are outlined.
