Abstract

The brightest star in either Magellanic cloud has been analyzed by the method of model atmospheres using observational data secured at Cerro Tololo. The results from abundance studies are in general accord with the conclusions by Przybylski. We find solar abundances for Fe, Sc, Mg, Si and, probably, Ca. The V, Cr, Si, Ti data suggest lower abundances but the evidence is not conclusive.
