Abundances of Vanadium and Bromine in 3 Cen A: Additional Odd-Z Anomalies
arXiv:astro-ph/0512294 · doi:10.1051/0004-6361:20053995
Abstract
We report abundance excesses of 1.2 and 2.6 dex, respectively, for vanadium and bromine in the hot, peculiar star 3 Cen A. Abundances for these two odd-Z elements have not been previously reported for this star. Taken with previous work, they strengthen the case of the origin of the abundance peculiarities by diffusion.
