A spectroscopic study of V1016 Ori

Two CCD spectra of the star V1016 Ori were obtained with the echelle spectrograph of the 6-m (BTA) telescope. An analysis of these spectra allowed us to estimate the star's atmospheric parameters (T _eff=29700 K, logg=4.4) and projected rotational velocity (Vsini=60 km s^?1) and to determine its chemical composition. Chemical anomalies were found. The Fe abundance is nearly solar; He, C, O, Mg, Al, Si are underabundant; and Ne, S, Zn are overabundant. The “spectroscopic” radius of the primary is in satisfactory agreement with its radius determined from the light and radial-velocity curves if the small star is assumed to lie in front of the giant star during an eclipse. The paradox of the primary's anomalous radius is thus resolved. A table of line equivalent widths and a portion of the star's spectrum are given in Appendices 1 and 2.
