The median SSO spectrum of RY Lep for 2005 December is shown as a black line. The synthetic spectrum, computed with T_eff = 6750 K, ﹩\mathrm{log}g=3.5﹩, [m/H] = 0.0, ξ = 4 km s⁻¹, and ﹩{V}_{{\rm{rot}}}\sin i=20﹩ km s⁻¹, is plotted as a red line. Vertical blue lines indicate the wavelengths of Fe and Ca lines used to determine the overall metallicity. Two green vertical lines mark the positions of Ba II lines at 6141.7 and 6496.8 Å.
