Abundance analysis of cool extreme helium star: LSS 3378
Abundance analysis of the cool extreme helium (EHe) star LSS 3378 is
presented. The abundance analysis is done using LTE line formation and LTE
model atmospheres constructed for EHe stars.
The atmosphere of LSS 3378 shows evidence of H-burning, He-burning, and
s-process nucleosynthesis. The derived abundances of iron-peak and
alpha-elements indicate absence of selective fractionation or any other
processes that can distort chemical composition of these elements. Hence, the
Fe abundance (log epsilon(Fe) = 6.1) is adopted as an initial metallicity
indicator. The measured abundances of LSS 3378 are compared with those of R
Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars and with rest of the EHe stars as a group.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables, MNRAS format, accepted for publication
