J/A+A/281/465   Chemical Composition of alf UMi and V473 Lyr  (Andrievsky+ 1994)

Description:
    The spectrograms of the s-Cepheids alpha-UMi and HR 7308, taken at
    reciprocal dispersion of 9 A/mm with the Main Stellar Spectrograph at
    the Special Astrophysical Observatory's 6-m telescope, were analysed
    for determining chemical elements abundance. The results include the
    equivalent width, and the abundances in the two stars.
