Abstract
While monitoring a sample of apparently slowly rotating superficially normal early-A stars, we have discovered
that HR 8844 (A0 V) is actually a new chemically peculiar star. We first compared the high-resolution spectrum of
HR 8844 with that of four slow rotators near A0V (ν Cap, ν Cnc, Sirius A, and HD 72660) to highlight similarities
and differences. The lines of Ti II, Cr II, Sr II, and Ba II are conspicuous features in the high-resolution high signalto-noise SOPHIE spectra of HR 8844 and much stronger than in the spectra of the normal star ν Cap. The Hg II line
at 3983.93 Å is also present in a 3.5% blend. Selected unblended lines of 31 chemical elements from He up to Hg
have been synthesized using model atmospheres computed with ATLAS9 and the spectrum synthesis code
SYNSPEC48 including hyperfine structure of various isotopes when relevant. These synthetic spectra have been
adjusted to the mean SOPHIE spectrum of HR 8844, and high-resolution spectra of the comparison stars. Chisquares were minimized to derive abundances or upper limits to the abundances of these elements for HR 8844 and
the comparison stars. HR 8844 is found to have underabundances of He, C, O, Mg, Ca, and Sc, mild enhancements
of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and distinct enhancements of the heavy elements Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Pr, Sm, Eu, and Hg, the
overabundances increasing steadily with atomic number. This chemical pattern suggests that HR 8844 may
actually be a new transition object between the coolest HgMn stars and the Am stars.
Key words: stars: abundances – stars: chemically peculiar – stars: early-type – stars: individual (HR 8844)
from solar values), 12 spectroscopic binaries, and 13 CP stars
among which five are new CP stars. The status of these new
CP stars still needs to be fully specified by spectropolarimetric observations to address their magnetic nature or by
exploring new spectral ranges which we had not explored in
this first study.
We now started to examine the B8-B9V sample using the
full wavelength coverage provided by SOPHIE to search for
new CP stars. We have already reported on the discovery of
four new HgMn stars (Monier et al. 2015), whose spectra
display strong Hg II lines at 3984 Å and strong Mn II lines. In
the process of our analysis of the B8-B9V sample, we also
found that HD 67044 is most likely another new HgMn star
(Monier et al. 2016).
Royer et al. (2014) performed abundance analyses for C, O,
Mg, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe, Sr, Y, and Zr using Takeda’s
automated procedure and classified HR 8844 as “probably
normal”: the four criteria used for the automatic classification
were not fully consistent, depending on the chemical species
used. To clarify the nature of HR 8844, we have compared its
spectra with high-resolution high S/N spectra of four stars near
A0V and B9V: the superficially normal ν Cap (B9V), the cool
HgMn star ν Cnc, Sirius A (A1m), and HD 72660 (A1m). We
then determined the abundances of 31 chemical elements, in
particular helium and several species heavier than barium (not
studied in Royer et al. 2014), for HR 8844 using spectrum
synthesis to quantify the enhancements and depletions of these
elements or to provide upper limits. We also performed the
abundance analysis for the four comparison stars using as much
as feasible the same lines and atomic data as employed for HR
8844 for consistency to compare the chemical composition of
1. Introduction
A bibliographic query of the CDS for HR 8844 actually
reveals only 34 publications. HR 8844 appears in Cowley et al.
(1969)ʼs classification of the bright A stars and was ascribed an
A0V spectral type by these authors. They did not comment on
any peculiarity of the spectrum. HR 8844 is also in Eggen’s
survey of A0 stars (Eggen 1984); it appears as a single star in
Eggleton & Tokovinin (2008). The purpose of this paper is to
perform a detailed abundance analysis of HR 8844 and show
that this star is a new chemically peculiar (CP) star.
We have recently undertaken a spectroscopic survey of all
apparently slowly rotating bright early-A stars (A0-A1V)
and late-B stars (B8-B9V) observable from the northern
hemisphere. This project addresses fundamental questions of
the physics of late-B and early-A stars: (i) can we find new
instances of rapid rotators seen pole-on (other than Vega)
and study their physical properties (gradient of temperature
across the disk, limb and gravity darkening) and (ii) is our
census of CP stars complete up to the magnitude limits we
adopted? If not, what are the physical properties of the newly
found CP stars? The abundance results for the A0-A1V
sample have been published in Royer et al. (2014). Targets
have been observed with SOPHIE, the échelle highresolution spectrograph at Observatoire de Haute Provence
yielding spectra covering the 3900–6800 Å spectral range
over 39 orders at a resolving power R=75,000. A careful
abundance analysis of the high-resolution high signal-tonoise ratio (S/N) spectra of the A stars sample and a
hierarchical classification have allowed to sort out the sample
of 47 A stars into 17 chemically normal stars (i.e., those
whose abundances do not depart by more than ±0.20 dex

and the atmospheric telluric lines. The normalized spectrum was
cross-correlated with a synthetic template extracted from the
POLLUX database6 (Palacios et al. 2010) corresponding to the
parameters Teff = 11,000 K, log g = 4 and solar abundances. A
parabolic fit of the upper part of the resulting cross-correlation
function yields the Doppler shift, which is then used to shift
spectra to rest wavelengths. The projected rotational velocities
are taken from Royer et al. (2014) who derived them from the
position of the first zero of the Fourier transform of individual
lines. The radial velocity and projected equatorial velocity of
HR 8844, ν Cap, HD 72660, ν Cap, and ν Cnc are collected in
Table 2. For Sirius A, they were retrieved from Landstreet (2011).
2. Observations and Reduction
We obtained one spectrum of HR 8844 on 2009 August 5
and then secured three new spectra in 2016 December at
Observatoire de Haute Provence using the high-resolution
(R = 75,000) mode of the SOPHIE échelle spectrograph
(Perruchot et al. 2008). The S/N ratio of the individual
spectra ranges from 251 up to 381 at 5500 Å. For ν Cap, we
secured four high-resolution spectra with HERMES (Raskin
et al. 2011) at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. For
the three other comparison stars, we fetched spectra from
spectroscopic archives. For HD 72660, we fetched a
spectrum from the HARPS archive (R=125,000) and
for Sirius A several I profiles obtained with NARVAL
from the the Polarbase database (R=75,000). For ν Cnc,
we retrieved a spectrum form the ELODIE archive
(R=45,000). The observations log of these data for the 5
stars is displayed in Table 1.
The SOPHIE, ELODIE, HARPS, NARVAL, and HERMES
data are automatically reduced by the individual projects to
produce 1D extracted and wavelength calibrated échelle orders.
Each reduced order was normalized separately using a
Chebychev polynomial fit with sigma clipping, rejecting points
above or below 1σ of the local continuum. Normalized orders
were then merged together, corrected by the blaze function and
resampled into a constant wavelength step of about 0.02 Å(see
Royer et al. 2014, for more details). The radial velocity of HR
8844, ν Cap, and HD 72660 were derived in Royer et al. (2014)
using cross-correlation techniques, avoiding the Balmer lines
3. The Line Spectrum of HR 8844—Comparison to ν Cap
3.1. The Line Spectrum of HR 8844
To establish the chemical peculiarity of HR 8844, we
measured the centroids of all 552 lines absorbing more than
2% of the continuum. Almost all these lines could be
identified after we performed a complete synthesis of the
spectrum and derived the abundances. The proposed
identifications corresponding to the final abundances of HR
8844 are collected in Table 3. The strongest lines (i.e., which
absorb more than 5% of the continuum) are due to Mg II,
Mg I, Ca II (resonance lines), Ca I (idem), Ti II, Cr II, Fe II,
Fe I, Sr II, and Ba II. Several spectral regions have been
inspected to search for the chemical peculiarity of HR 8844.
First, the red wing of H , harbors a line close to the location
of the Hg II λ 3983.93 Å line and several Zr II and Y II lines

ν Cap and HR 8844 in the range 4300 to 4320 Å where 4 Ti II
lines, the Sc II line at 4314.18 Å, and the Sr II line at 4305.443 Å
fall. The lines of Ti II, Sc II, and Sr II are all stronger in the
spectrum of HR 8844 than in that of ν Cap. Figure 4 displays the
comparison of the spectra of ν Cap and HR 8844 in the range
4060 Å up to 4080 Å where the Ni II at 4067.04 Å and the Sr II
resonance line at 4077.70 Å fall. These two lines are stronger in
the spectrum of HR 8844 than in that of ν Cap. Finally, Figure 5
displays the comparison of the SOPHIE spectra of ν Cap and HR
8844 in the range 4260 up to 4280 Å where the C II doublet at
4267.00 Å and 4267.26 Å and the Cr II lines at 4261.92 Å and
4275.56 Å fall. The C II lines are weaker in HR 8844 than in ν
Cap and the Cr II lines are slightly stronger in HR 8844. From
these first comparisons, we infer that C, O should be less
abundant in HR 8844 than in ν Cap, whereas Fe may be
comparable and Ti, Cr, Ni, Sr, and Ba are more abundant in HR
8844 than in ν Cap. Similar trends are found when comparing the
spectra of Vega and HR 8844. The abundance analysis carried
out in next paragraph will confirm this.
likely to be strengthened in CP stars. After proper correction
for the stellar radial velocity, we found that HR 8844 does
show a feature next to the Hg II 3983.93 Å line absorbing
about 3.5%, and also the lines of Y II at 3982.59 Å (2%) and
of Zr II at 3991.13 Å (3.5%) and 3998.97 Å (2%). Several
other lines of Y II and Zr II could be identified in the spectrum of
HR 8844, and have been used to derive the abundances of these
elements. Second, we examined the region from 4125 Å to
4145 Å for the Si II lines at 4128.054 Å and 4130.894 Å and the
Mn II line at 4136.92 Å. This Mn II line is definitely present in
HR 8844 but is only a weak line (0.5%). Similarly, the lines of
Mn II at 4206.37 Å and 4252.96 Å absorb respectively 1.5% and
2.0%. The abundance analysis of two Mn II lines with hyperfine
structure will reveal a manganese excess of about two times the
solar value.
3.2. Comparison with Spectra of ν Cap
HR 8844, Vega, and ν Cap have similar effective
temperatures, surface gravities, and projected equatorial
velocities ve sin i . Differences in the line intensities should
therefore reflect mostly differences in chemical compositions. Several spectral regions highlight the differences
between HR 8844 and ν Cap. Several lines are stronger in
HR 8844 than in ν Cap and Vega which shows than HR 8844
is enriched in the elements responsible for these lines with
respect to ν Cap and Vega. We will only show the comparisons
with ν Cap here. Figure 1 displays the comparison of the spectra
of ν Cap and HR 8844 in the range from 4930 to 4940 Å where
three lines of C I and the resonance line of Ba II at 4934.096 Å
fall. All lines of C I are slightly stronger and the Ba II line is much
stronger in HR 8844. Figure 2 displays the comparison of the
spectra of ν Cap and HR 8844 in the range 6140 to 6160 Å where
several lines of O I fall together with the Fe II lines at 6147.62 Å
and 6149.26 Å and the Ba II line at 6141.713 Å. All O I lines are
weaker in HR 8844, whereas the Ba II line is much stronger in
HR 8844. Figure 3 displays the comparison of the spectra of

Sirius A, and HD 72660
4.1. Fundamental Parameters Determinations
For HR 8844, ν Cap, and ν Cnc, we applied Napiwotzky’s
(Napiwotzki et al. 1993) UVBYBETA procedure to derive
the effective temperature and surface gravity. The fundamental parameters of Sirius A and HD72660 were taken,
respectively, from Landstreet (2011) and Golriz & Landstreet
(2016). The adopted effective temperatures, surface gravities,
projected equatorial velocities, and radial velocities for HR
8844, Vega, n Cap, ν Cnc, Sirius A, and HD 72660 are
collected in Table 2. The adopted values for the parameters of
HR 8844 are in good agreement with the spectroscopic
determination of Gebran et al. (2016). The projected
equatorial velocities and radial velocities of HR 8844 and

derived [Fe/H] as a function of the microturbulent velocity.
The adopted microturbulent velocities are the values which
minimize the standard deviations i.e., for that value, all Fe II
lines yield the same iron abundance. We therefore adopt a

(Hubeny & Lanz 1992) to model the lines of 31 elements
for HR 8844 and ν Cap. Computations were iterated varying
the unknown abundance until minimization of the chi-square
between the observed and synthetic spectrum was achieved.
Abundances are derived for 34 elements for ν Cnc, 37
elements for Sirius A, and 37 elements for HD72660,
because these three stars have significantly lower projected
rotational velocities.
4.3. Model Atmospheres and Spectrum Synthesis Calculations
Plane parallel model atmospheres assuming radiative
equilibrium and hydrostatic equilibrium were computed
using the ATLAS9 code (Kurucz 1992) for the appropriate
fundamental parameters of each star. The linelist was built
from Kurucz’s gfall21oct16.dat7 which includes hyperfine
splitting levels. The observed wavelengths and oscillator
strengths were retrieved by querying the NIST8 Atomic
Spectra Database (Kramida et al. 2017) for the following
atoms or ions: He I. C II, O I, Mg II, Al I, Al II, Si II, S II, Ca II,
Sc II, Ti II, Cr II, Mn II, Fe II, Sr II, Ba II, and Dy II. For the
other species which lack data in the Atomic Spectra
Database, we have used other references to retrieve
their atomic data which are collected in Table 4. A grid
of synthetic spectra was computed with SYNSPEC48

4.4. The Derived Abundances of HR 8844
We used only unblended lines to derive the abundances.
For a given element, the final abundance is a weighted
mean of the abundances derived for each transition
(the weights are derived from the NIST grade assigned
to that particular transition). For several elements, in
particular the heaviest elements, only one unblended line
was available. These final abundances and their estimated
uncertainties for HR 8844 are collected in Table 5. The
determination of the uncertainties is discussed in the Appendix.
Table 5 contains for each analyzed species the adopted laboratory
wavelength, logarithm of oscillator strength, its source, the
logarithm of the absolute abundance normalized to that of

a reference. The final mean abundance and its estimated
uncertainty are then given.
The light elements, He, C, O, and Mg, are found to be
depleted in HR 8844. The helium abundance is found to be
about 0.70 times the solar abundance of helium consistently
from the He I lines near 4471 Å and near 5875.5 Å. The
NLTE abundance correction for the λ 4471.48 Å He I line is
very small as shown by Lemke (1989) for early-A-type stars
and we have not corrected for it. Carbon is depleted, about
0.40 times the solar abundance from the analysis of the C II
triplet at 4267 Å. Oxygen is depleted about 0.80 times the
solar oxygen abundance from 12 O I transitions near 5330 Å
and from 6155 to 6158 Å. Magnesium is also depleted by
0.45 times the solar abundance, aluminium is 0.8 times solar
and silicon is about solar. Calcium and scandium are
depleted by 0.70 times the solar abundances. As from
titanium, all elements start to be mildly overabundant, except
for iron. From the analysis of 12 lines, titanium is found to be
about 1.41 times enriched respect to the solar abundance.
The vanadium abundance is 1.88 times the solar abundance
and the chromium abundance 1.45 times the solar abundance. The Mn II lines at 4206.37 Å and 4259.19 Å include
hyperfine structure of the isotopes of manganese and yield
two times the solar manganese abundance. The iron
abundance which is solar has been derived mostly by using
16 Fe II lines of multiplets 37, 38, and 186 in the range
4500–4600 Å, whose atomic parameters are critically
assessed in NIST (these are C+ and D quality lines). These

lines are widely spaced and the continuum is fairly easy to
trace in this spectral region. Their synthesis always yields
consistent iron abundances from the various transitions with
very little dispersion. The iron abundance is probably the
most accurately determined of the abundances derived here.
The Sr–Y–Zr triad is overabundant by modest amounts:
about five times solar for strontium, about five times for
yttrium, and 5.8 times solar for zirconium. Barium is
enhanced by a factor of 9.3 and the Lanthanides by factors
of 15 up to 100 times solar. Figure 7 illustrates the detection
of a 10 times solar overabundance for barium from the Ba II
line at 4554.03 Å.
Mercury is enhanced by 10,000 times the solar value.
The overall abundance pattern of HR 8844 is therefore
that light species tend to be almost all underabundant
(He, C, O, Mg, Si, Ca, and Sc) while the iron-peak
elements show mild enhancements (less than five times
solar) and Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, the Lanthanides, and Hg show
more and more pronounced overabundances (larger than
five times solar), the largest overabundance being for
Hg. The general trend therefore is that the heaviest elements
are the most overabundant which strongly suggests that
atomic diffusion be responsible for the chemical pattern of
HR 8844.
The derived abundances of HR 8844 are compared with the
previous determination in Royer et al. (2014) for the 12
elements in common in Table 6 and Figure 8. We find a
reasonably good agreement (within ±0.25 dex) for C, O, Ca,
Sc, Cr, Fe, and Sr.

work for the 12 elements in common.
& Dworetsky (1993). This star proves to be a very good
normal comparison star. The abundances in Adelman (1991)
differ slightly from ours for three reasons. Although he did
use a similar effective temperature and surface gravity,
Adelman adopted a null microturbulent velocity for ν Cap
whereas we use 0.50 kms−1. We did not necessarily use the
same lines for a given element and the atomic data for the
few lines have been upgraded to the latest values compiled
in NIST.
For ν Cnc, our abundances are almost all larger than those
reported in Adelman (1989), who used fundamental parameters
and a microturbulent velocity similar to ours; however, he adopted
a smaller ve sin i = 13 kms−1, whereas we use 18 kms−1. We
therefore have to slightly enhance the abundances to reproduce the
observed profiles. Note that we determine here for the first time
the abundances of several Lanthanides in ν Cnc.
For Sirius A, we have compared our results with the most
recent determinations of Landstreet (2011) for the elements up
to Nickel and Cowley et al. (2016) for heavier elements. We
use the same effective temperature, surface gravity, and a
slightly lower microturbulent velocity (2.10 kms−1 rather than
2.20 kms−1 adopted by these authors). In his paper, Landstreet
(2011) emphasizes that even for Sirius large differences in
elemental abundances remain for C, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ca, V, Mn,
Ni, and even Fe from one author to another. We find good
4.5. The Derived Abundances for the Comparison Stars ν Cap,
ν CnC, Sirius A, and HD 72660
Using the same method and linelist, we have derived the
elemental abundances of the normal star ν Cap, the cool HgMn
star ν Cnc, the hot Am stars Sirius A, and HD 72660 to
compare the found abundances of HR 8844 to those of these
four stars. The found abundances for these four comparison
stars are collected in Table 7.
We compared the derived abundances for these four stars
with published abundance studies in the literature as
displayed in Table 8. We expect differences with previous
analyses because of (i) differences in the adopted ve sin i or ξ
and (ii) differences in the lines used and their atomic data.
The found abundances for ν Cap are very close to solar for
most elements in agreement with Adelman (1991) and Smith

agreement (i.e., within ±0.20 dex) with Landstreet’s (2011)
abundances for O, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Sr, and Ba. For elements
heavier than barium, we find a fair agreement with Cowley
et al. (2016) abundances for La, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Hf
within±0.20 dex of their determinations.
For HD 72660, we have compared our abundances with those
of Golriz & Landstreet (2016) as we have used similar effective
temperature, surface gravity, projected equatorial velocity, and
microturbulent velocity. We find a fair agreement with Golriz &
Landstreet (2016) for the abundances of several elements: C, Mg,
Al, Si, S, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Ni, and Zr.
In Figure 9, we compare the found abundances for HR
8844 with our new determinations for the four comparison
stars. As ν Cnc, and Sirius A, HR 8844 displays the
characteristic underabundances for most elements lighter
than titanium and pronounced overabundances for elements
heavier which CP stars harbour. The overabundances of HR
8844 are modest for the iron-peak elements, but increase for
the Sr–Y–Zr triad and barium (of the order of 10 times solar)
and for the Lanthanides and of the order of 104 solar for
mercury. The overabundance of manganese and mercury; the
underabundances of calcium and scandium and of the
lightest elements; the mild overabundances of the iron-peak
elements, of the Sr–Y–Zr triad; of barium and several Rare
Earths, show that HR 8844 is a new hot Am star which also

displays characteristic enhancements of the coolest HgMn
stars (as HD 72660 and Sirius A do). We therefore propose
that HR 8844 be a new transition object between the Am
stars and the coolest HgMn stars and as such is a very
interesting star.

5. Conclusion
We report here on detailed abundance determinations of
the A0V star HR 8844, hitherto considered as a “normal
star.” Our analysis definitely establishes that HR 8844 is a
new CP star, probably a hot Am star (as Sirius A and HD
72660 are), extending the realm of Am stars to significantly
higher temperatures. As HD 72660 and Sirius A, HR 8844
may well be a transition object between the Am stars and the
coolest HgMn star and as such is a very interesting object.
We are undertaking a monitoring of HR 8844 over its
rotation period (which must be smaller than 5 days assuming
a radius of about 2 solar radii for an A0V star) to search for
variability due to the presence of spots or a companion.
Appendix
Determination of Uncertainties
For a representative line of a given element, six major
sources are included in the uncertainty determinations: the
uncertainty on the effective temperature (sTeff ), on the surface
gravity (slog g ), on the microturbulent velocity (sxt ), on the
apparent rotational velocity (sve sin i ), the oscillator strength
(slog gf ), and the continuum placement (scont ). These uncertainties are supposed to be independent, so that the total uncertainty
stoti for a given transition (i) is
We thank the OHP night assistants for their helpful support
during the three observing runs. This work has made use of the
