Using high resolution, high-S/N archival UVES spectra, we have performed a detailed spectroscopic analysis of 4 chemically peculiar HgMn stars (HD 71066, HD 175640, HD 178065 and HD 221507). Using spectrum synthesis, mean photospheric chemical abundances are derived for 22 ions of 16 elements. We find good agreement betwee n our derived abundances and those published previously by other authors. For the 5 el ements that present a sufficient number of suitable lines, we have attempted to detect vertical chemical stratification by analyzing the dependence of derived abundance as a function of optical depth. For most elements and most stars we find no evidence of chemical stratification w ith typical 3σ upper limits of Δ log Nelem/Ntot ∼ 0.1− 0.2 dex per unit optical depth. However, for Mn in the atmosphere of HD 178065 we find convincing evidence of stratification. Mode ling of the line profiles using a two-step model for the abundance of Mn yields a local abundance varying approximately linearly by ∼ 0.7 dex through the optical depth range log τ5000 = −3.6 to ‐2.8.
