Extract

The eighth magnitude star HD 101065 is an extremely peculiar star with a unique spectrum characterized by numerous strong lines of the rare earths and the absence, or at least a remarkable weakening, of the lines of the iron group (Cowley et al. 1977). Besides the lanthanides only yttrium, zirconium, calcium and barium are definitely present in the atmosphere in substantial quantities. The evidence for the presence of lithium and strontium is subject to some doubt since these elements are represented only by one or two reasonably strong lines, which is insufficient for a positive identification in a spectrum as complex as that of HD 101065. The evidence for the presence of other elements is the subject of a critical examination in a recent paper by Cowley et al. (1977). The effective temperature of the star is about 6100 K (Przybylski, 1977) which is substantially lower than the temperature of any known Ap star. However, the effective temperature of HD 101065 is still subject to controversy (Wegner, 1976).
