2. Observations and data reduction

All observations were made with the 2-m RCC telescope of the Bulgarian National Astronomical Observatory during 1994 and 1996. The Third Camera of the coudé spectrograph and the 580 tex2html_wrap_inline1462 520 ISTA CCD matrix with a pixel size 24 tex2html_wrap_inline1462 18 tex2html_wrap_inline1466m were used. The entrance slit of 300 tex2html_wrap_inline1466m corresponding to 0.8 arcsec was set to provide a spectral power of 30000. With a 632 mm-1 Bausch & Lomb grating, a spectral range of 6675 - 6725 ÅÅ was covered with a dispersion of 4.2 Åmm-1 and a resolution of 0.22 Å. No binning was used. The reference spectrum was provided by a hollow-cathode Fe-Ar lamp. Flat-field frames were made by using a tungsten lamp. A shortened version of the log book is presented in Table 1 (click here). The PC-based IPS software package (Smirnov et al. 1992) was used for the flat-field correction, normalization and wavelength calibration. Consequently, for each star, we applied the spectra co-addition technique proposed by Hill & Adelman (1986). As a result the S/N ratio of about 250 for HD108651, 350 for HD116657 and 300 for HD138213 was reached at the tex2html_wrap_inline1474 level.
