The Metallicity of the Pleiades
Abstract
We have measured the abundances of Fe, Si, Ni, Ti, and Na in 20 Pleiads with values near solar and with low using high-resolution, high signal-to-noise echelle spectra. We have validated our procedures by also analyzing 10 field stars of a range of temperatures and metallicities that were observed by Vale05. Our result for the Pleiades is [Fe/H] = +0.030.020.05 (statistical and systematic). The average of published measurements for the Pleiades is +0.0420.021.
