... We cannot use for this purpose equivalent widths and profiles of HI lines (well known criteria of atmospheric conditions for normal supergiants), since these lines are strongly distorted in the spectrum of IRAS04296 as seen in Fig. ... Figure: Upper: iron abundance FeI (circles) and FeII (crosses) calculated for IRAS04296+3429 with model parameters , and using lines with different excitation potentials EP of a low level; bottom: the same as a function of the equivalent width W . ...
