Lithium in the Peculiar Star HD 101065

Abstract

IN a recent article1 Przybylski presented the results of a preliminary coarse analysis of element abundances in the atmosphere of the peculiar star HD 101065. This star, the spectrum of which consists almost entirely of rare earth lines, is of considerable interest as it apparently represents a very advanced stage of nuclear evolution. In order to decide where HD 101065 fits into the scheme of stellar evolution at present accepted, a quantitative knowledge of the composition of its atmosphere is necessary. Przybylski's work provides a valuable first step in this direction.
