Scientific paper

Over the past few years a GTO team project hasobtained extensive GHRS echelle data of UV transitionsof heavy elements in the Hg-Mn stars chi Lupi andKappa Cancri. Isotopic anomalies, in which only theheaviest isotope of Hg, Pt and Tl is present, havebeen observed in chi Lupi, but are apparently absentin Kappa Cancri. Kappa Cancri is distinguished fromchi Lupi by both its higher effective temperature andits larger Mn abundance. To help constraintheoretical interpretations of the abundance andisotope anomalies, this program will observe the Hg-Mnstar HR7775, which has the same effective temperatureas chi-Lupi, but also has substantially higher Mn andBi abundances. Observations of HR 7775 will includelines of B III, S I, Au II and III, Pt I, II, and III,Hg II and III, Ru II, Zr III, Ge I, As I, Cd II, Gd III,Ta II, Sb II and N I. Additional observations ofchi Lupi will also be obtained including observationsof Bi III, Tl III, Cu II and Ir II.
