dc.description.abstract | High-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy of two chemically peculiar hot subdwarfs, PG 0909+276 and UVO0512-08, has been obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope. Chemical abundances in the stars' atmospheres were measured from previous optical spectra and from the new ultraviolet observations. Iron-group metals, including cobalt, copper and zinc, are highly enriched relative to typical subdwarf B (sdB) stars. Lead is also enriched, but with an abundance similar to other sdB stars. The surface chemistry of these two stars is quite distinct from both hydrogen-rich normal sdB stars and also from the intermediate helium-rich sdB stars which show heavy-element superabundances. A full explanation for exotic chemistries in hot subdwarfs remains elusive. | |
