Analysis of the kinematics shows that the short-wavelength component of the split line originates in the star's thick gas-dust envelope. Disregarding the splitting of strong lines when the chemical composition is calculated leads to overestimated excess of s-process elements (Ba, La, Ce, Nd) in the stellar atmosphere. The profiles of strong absorption lines have been found to be variable. The available radial-velocity data suggest the absence of any trend in the velocity field in the atmosphere and circumstellar envelope of V354Lac over 15 years of its observations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-06-05T07:20:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "circumstellar envelope", "heavy-metal lines", "stars thick gas-dust envelope", "strong absorption lines", "lower-level excitation potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Astronomy Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Jul", "volume": 35, "number": 7, "pages": 457 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 822325, "adsabs": "2009AstL...35..457K" } } }
