Model atmospheres are fitted to spectroscopic data in order to analyze the elemental abundances in the atmospheres of three red giants in the Hyades cluster. The three stars have almost identical chemical compositions, with iron-group elements slightly overabundant compared to the solar values—a pattern that is typical of Hyades dwarfs. The overabundances of the light elements Na, Al, and Si are virtually equal to those observed for field giants. No enrichment in rare-earth elements relative to iron was found, in sharp contrast to field giants. It is concluded that these discrepancies are due to the age difference between the two groups of stars, which have resulted in different degrees of convective overshooting.
