Abstract:
    We have determined the photospheric compositions of five luminous F-G
    variables in globular clusters: V11 in M2, V42 in M5, V84 in M5, V2 in
    M10, and V17 in M28, three of which are classified as RV Tau variable
    stars. Unlike the recent findings that the photospheres of field RV
    Tau variables have been altered by a gas-dust separation process, none
    of these stars, except possibly V2 in M10, show such signs. We suggest
    that either a smaller carbon abundance in the photosphere of a
    globular cluster RV Tau star (compared to its field analogues) might
    be a factor in the gas-dust separation process due to the lack of
    sufficient carbon grain formation, or the stellar winds and their
    efficacy as dust-grain separators is influenced by the metallicity of
    the stellar envelope which, unlike the photosphere, is never subject
    to alteration by a dust-gas separation. Our analysis is most complete
    for V84, for which we have estimated the abundances of 19 chemical
    elements. Compared to the other giants in M5, this star displays a
    very large excess of Na and a deficit of O. This finding is consistent
    with a recently proposed mechanism of Na production in the ON-cycling
    region of metal-poor RGB stars. The value of [Al/Fe] for V84 is also
    high (also consistent with ON-cycling), but a comparison with the
    other cluster giants cannot be performed until Al is measured in their
    spectra. The s-process elements are not significantly enhanced in the
    atmosphere of V84 relative to the other cluster members.
