Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances in Sirius and VEGA

Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances are obtained from C I, N I, and O I high excitation permitted lines in the spectra of the standard A star Vega and the ''hot'' Am star Sirius. Vega has normal abundances. Relative to Vega, Sirius is C deficient by 0.60 dex, N enhanced by 0....

Zusammenfassung:Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances are obtained from C I, N I, and O I high excitation permitted lines in the spectra of the standard A star Vega and the ''hot'' Am star Sirius. Vega has normal abundances. Relative to Vega, Sirius is C deficient by 0.60 dex, N enhanced by 0.22 dex, and O deficient by 0.27 dex.
