HD 65949 is a late B star in NGC 2516. Two X-ray sources are within 1". The spectrum arguably falls outside of the usual CP star classifications. It may be most closely related to the HgMn stars, having strong Hg II λ3984, and Pt II. But while ? is exceptionally strong, Mn II is only mildly enhanced. The rarely observed Re II spectrum is extraordinarily well developed.
Other uncommon identifications are Kr II, Os II, and Th III. Preliminary quantitative work by Cowley, Hubrig, and Wahlgren (JPhCS, 130, 012005, 2008) is now extended to abundances or upper limits of 58 elements. Calculations of atomic structures by the Mons group, assessed through comparisons with experiment, have provided a large number of oscillator strengths making it possible to derive reliable abundances from rare 5d ions, as well as the 4d spectrum of Ru II. Nb II (4d) is confirmed, and its abundance determined using recent work of Nilsson and Ivarsson (A&A, 492, 609, 2008). Many Re II (5d) lines show broad hyperfine structure, easily resolved on ESO HARPS spectra.
We provide new orbital elements for this known SB1. The period is 21.28 days and is slowly increasing, indicating the presence of a third body. Using the spectroscopic Teff=13100 and log(g) = 4.0, as well as the orbital data, we estimate primary and secondary masses near 3.3 and 1.6 M&sun;, with a separation of some 0.25 AU. Observations: ESO (UVES Progs. 076.D-0172, 081.D-0498), HARPS, and from Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito. Support from Belgian FRS-FNRS is gratefully acknowledged.
