On the basis of high-resolution echelle spectra obtained with the Coudé Echelle Spectrograph attached to the 2.16 m telescope at the Beijing Astronomical Observatory (Xinglong, China) for Sirius and Vega, we performed an elemental abundance analysis of 29 ions, in which 23 elements are included, with T_eff=9880, logg=4.40, [Fe/H]=0.50, and ξ_t=1.85 km.s^–1 for Sirius and T_eff=9430, logg=3.95, [Fe/H]=-0.57, and ξ_t=1.50 km.s^–1 for Vega. The results show different abundance patterns for these two stars. The iron peak elements seem to be enhanced by about 1.0 dex in Sirius relative to Vega. Comparison with previous investigations is present.
