Kinds of weak line star :

• CN-weak star (2 facts) - High-velocity star with both weak metallic lines and weak CN bands.
• lambda Bootis star (5 facts) - A type of young (usually early A), weak-lined, metal-poor stars with low radial velocities., A-type stars with weak metallic lines, low rotational velocity and low radial velocity.
