While monitoring a sample of apparently slowly rotating superficially normal
bright late B and early A stars in the northern hemisphere, we have discovered
that HD 67044 and HD 42035, hitherto classified as normal late B-type stars,
are actually respectively a new chemically peculiar star and a new
spectroscopic binary containing a very slow rotator HD 42035 S with ultra-sharp
lines (vsini = 3.7 km/s) and a fast rotator HD 42035 B with broad lines. The
lines of Ti, Cr, Mn, Sr, Y, Zr and Ba are conspicuous features in the high
resolution SOPHIE spectrum of HD 67044. The HgII line at 3983.93 A is also
present as a weak feature. The composite spectrum of HD 42035 is characterised
by very sharp lines formed in HD 42035 S superimposed onto the shallow and
broad lines of HD 42035 B. These very sharp lines are mostly due to light
elements from C to Ni, the only heavy species definitely present are Sr and Ba.
Selected lines of 21 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.
Abundances of these key elements have been derived HD 67044 and HD 42035 S. HD
67044 is found to have distinct enhancements of Ti, Cr, Mn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba and
Hg and underabundances in He, C, O, Ca and Sc which shows that this star is not
a superficially normal late B-type star, but actually is a new CP star most
likely of the HgMn type. HD 42035 S has provisional underabundances of the
light elements from C to Ti and overabundances of heavier elements up to
barium. More accurate fundamental parameters and abundances for HD 42035 S and
HD 42035 B will be derived if we manage to disentangle their spectra. They will
help clarify the status of the two components in this interesting new
spectroscopic binary.Comment: 30 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, accepted in APSS. arXiv admin note:
