Spectral Characteristics of A-Type Stars in the Galactic Halo
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Among 67 early A-type stars at high galactic latitudes, selected to have both small m1 and large c1 Strömgren photometric indices, we find about one third to have quite normal dwarf or subgiant spectra at MK classification dispersion. Those stars with peculiarities included 10 new λ Bootis stars, though none of these appeared significantly evolved. We wonder whether some of the metal-weak dwarf stars in our set may be field horizontal-branch equivalents of the blue, downward-curving, low-luminosity end of the blue horizontal-branch stars.
