Abundances of Vanadium and Bromine in 3 Cen A: Additional Odd-Z Anomalies
We report abundance excesses of 1.2 and 2.6 dex, respectively, for vanadium

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.Comment: 4 Pages, 2 tables, 2 figures; accepted by Astronomy and Astrophysic
