The star 2 UMa has not been the subject of a modern detailed elemental abundances analysis. It is relatively sharp-lined and sufficiently hot (T-eff = 8050 K) that the continuum placement is not a major problem in the optical region. Comparison of the results of this new study of 15 Vul with the last complete study shows a 0.15 dex mean increase in the derived abundances and a reduction in the standard deviations of the mean values. The abundance anomalies of 2 UMa are usually larger than those of 15 Vul. The greater spectral coverage of 15 Vul compared with 2 UMa results in a larger number of abundances being derived. The abundances of 2 UMa are typical for those of classical Am stars that have similar effective temperatures and surface gravities. 15 Vul, characterized by a similar effective temperature and smaller surface gravity, is a more evolved star.en-USStarsAbundancesStarsChemically PeculiarArticle3871084000023871084000022-s2.0-849735333922-s2.0-84973533392
