Abstract:
    A determination of the surface gravity and an abundance analysis of
    helium in a sample of 17 He-rich and 5 normal, reference stars is
    presented. These results are derived from low resolution CCD spectra,
    but each star was measured at least 6 times in order to obtain a
    significant average spectrum for the spectroscopic variables. The
    helium abundances derived from the models used are very close to 0.1
    for normal, reference stars and are larger for the others, clearly
    indicating the He-rich phenomenon in them. NLTE effects, errors on the
    microturbulence value or on the surface gravity do not influence the
    estimated helium abundances. Nevertheless, synthesized Geneva colours
    are affected by the He-rich peculiarity, especially the [U-B] index
    which systematically changes by -0.025 mag per 0.1 of He abundance for
    the coolest stars in the sample. We cannot confirm the correlation
    between the evolutionary state and the helium abundance reported
    previously (Zboril et al. 1994, in "International Conference on CP and
    Magnetic Stars.", Tatranska Lomnica, eds. J. Zverko and J. Ziznovsky,
    p. 105), although we used a more reliable technique of log(g)
    determination. All He-rich objects lie within the main sequence: their
    surface gravities are all inside the range 4.1<logg<4.5, with no more
    than three objects having logg<4.25. We find a significant spread of
    helium abundances in this range of surface gravities, from the solar
    value ~0.1 up to about 0.4. Some of the programme stars (including
    reference stars) present emission in their Balmer lines and therefore
    some kind of stellar activity. Strong helium overabundance often
    coexists with emission and stellar activity.
