The normalized SALT spectrum of RY Lep is shown as a black line. The synthetic spectrum with T_eff = 6750 K, ﹩\mathrm{log}g=3.5﹩, [m/H] = −0.4, ξ = 4 km s⁻¹, and ﹩{V}_{{\rm{rot}}}\sin i=20﹩ km s⁻¹ is shown as a red line. Vertical blue lines mark the wavelengths of Fe and Ca lines used to determine the overall metallicity, while the two green vertical lines indicate the positions of the Ba II spectral lines at 6141.7 and 6496.8 Å.
