Scientific paper

From an analysis of high-dispersion Kitt Peak echelle data, atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances have been derived for 27 supergiants of spectral type F through M. Since the stars studied lie within about 1 kpc of the sun, their abundances will form the local reference point for extensions of this study to larger distances. The derived Fe/H abundance ratios range from minus 0.6 to plus 0.1 dex, show a mean value of -0.15 dex, and have an internal uncertainty of plus or minus 0.2 dex.
