Scientific paper

High S/N high-resolution spectroscopic observations of seven bright well-known λ Bootis stars: HD 31295, HD 91130, HD 110411, HD 125162, HD 183324, HD 192640, and HD 221756 are presented. Sharp absorption details observed in the bottoms of the Na-D lines in HD 192640 and HD 221756 do not show any radial velocity changes with an accuracy up to 1 km s-1. They are of interstellar origin. Manifestations of non-radial pulsation reported earlier in literature are observed both in the Na-D and the Hα line profiles. The Inglis-Teller formula was used to evaluate the electron density in the upper atmospheric layers (τ ˜ 0.1). The values obtained for log{Ne} are typical for normal A stars with similar effective temperatures and spectral classes.
