Lines of Pt II have been discovered in Hg Mn stars by Dworetsky (1969). The analysis of a few strong Pt II transitions, which are also observed in IUE spectra of stars, has shown (Dworetsky et al., 1984) “that Pt is, like Hg, among the most overabundant elements in the atmospheres of Hg Mn stars, with enhancements of the order of 104 to 105 over the solar system abundances”. Dworetsky et al. (1984) selected also the four Pt II lines which might be used for astrophysical applications. Moreover, they determined the corresponding theoretical gf values. The aim of this contribution is to investigate the Stark broadening of these Pt II lines and to provide the corresponding Stark widths.
