Abundance analysis of targets for the COROT/MONS asteroseismology missions II. Abundance analysis of the COROT main targets

2004 
One of the goals of the ground-based support program for the  and / satellite missions is to charac- terize suitable target stars for the part of the missions dedicated to asteroseismology. We present the detailed abundance analysis of nine of the potential  main targets using the semi-automatic software . For two additional  targets we could not perform the analysis due to the high rotational velocity of these stars. For five stars with low rotational velocity we have also performed abundance analysis by a classical equivalent width method in order to test the reliability of the  software. The agreement between the different methods is good. We find that it is necessary to measure abundances extracted from each line relative to the abundances found from a spectrum of the Sun in order to remove systematic errors. We have constrained the global atmospheric parameters Teff ,l ogg ,a nd (Fe/H) to within 70−100 K, 0.1−0.2 dex, and 0.1 dex for five stars which are slow rotators (v sini 60 km s −1 ) it is not possible to constrain the atmospheric parameters.
