Non-LTE Spectral Analysis of Extremely Hot Post-AGB Stars: Constraints for Evolutionary Theory

Thomas Rauch, Klaus Werner, Marc Ziegler +2

Spectral analysis by means of Non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication: fully line-blanketed model atmospheres which consider opacities of…

Search For Iron, Nickel, and Fluorine in PG1159 Stars

E. Reiff, T. Rauch, K. Werner +2

A possible origin of the iron-deficiency in PG1159 stars could be neutron captures on Fe nuclei. A nickel overabundance would corroborate this idea. Consequently we are looking for…
