Extract

The eighth magnitude star HD 101065 has an extremely peculiar spectrum dominated by very numerous lines of the rare earths (with only the one possible exception of ytterbium, whose lines are difficult to identify). Besides the rare earths only strontium, yttrium and zirconium could be found in substantial quantities, while calcium though present is highly underabundant. The most surprising feature of the star is the absence of iron peak elements in its spectrum.
