INVESTIGATION OF THE RADIOACTIVE PROMETHIUM LINES IN STELLAR SPECTRA
View through CrossRef
Eleven lines of promethium Pm II in the spectra of the magnetic peculiar A0 V star HD 25354 were analysed thoroughly in order to obtain information about how the short-lived element lines behave in spectra acquired on different observation dates. It has turned out that the intensity variations in time are typical for these lines with some of them being observed as emissive or absent at certain time intervals. The obtained list of Pm II lines in the spectra of the magnetic peculiar star HD 25354 has been employed to investigate promethium abundances in atmospheres of other stars, such as HR 465 (Teff = 111,840 K), HIP 13962 (Teff = 6,250 K) and BL 138 (Teff = 3,939 K). The investigation interval has been limited to the spectral range of 4000–5800 Å and oscillator strengths within –0.76 < log gf < 0.4.
