Abstract

We review the literature of high dispersion studies of late B and early A type supergiants to assess the importance of non-LTE abundance calculations for them. Practically we are interested in learning which elements and species have such calculations been performed and then which of these should be implemented in calculations with plane-parallel LTE model atmospheres. The techniques available for the quantitative modeling of these atmospheres are outlined and some recent results are discussed.
