Two s‐process–sensitive ratios, [La/Eu] and [Ce/Sm]. The filled pentagon marks the prediction of Arlandini et al. (1999) for pure r‐process abundances. The open pentagons mark the addition of s‐process material in increments of 10% of the total solar s‐process abundance. For our data, the more metal rich stars have a higher [La/Eu] due to biased Eu values, as discussed in the text, but their [Ce/Sm] values are in agreement with no s‐process contribution, with the exception of HD 29574. While the Gratton & Sneden (1994) stars with [Fe/H﹩] > -1.7﹩ follow the path of increasing s‐process contributions in spirit if not in exact numbers, the stars with [Fe/H﹩] < -1.7﹩ show no such inclination.
