The λ Boo and Related Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The main properties of this class of rare objects are described, and the criteria selected for discovering new members are indicated. The abundance anomalies, resulting from the scanty analyses made up to now, are discussed together with the theoretical interpretation proposed in the framework of the modified diffusion theory and of the recent selective accretion proposal.
Finally, we discuss the evolutionary stage of the λ Boo stars which, in the HR diagram, lie near, but not on the main sequence.
