A non-LTE abundance determination of magnesium, iron, and barium was carried out for the atmosphere of Vega. The results indicate marked underabundances of these elements relative to the solar values. First preliminary results of numerical simulations of convective and oscillatory phenomena in the atmosphere of Vega are briefly described.
