\begin{table}%t7 \caption{\label{tabg29}Diffusion data for the variable ZZ~Ceti star G~29-38.} \small%\centerline { \begin{tabular}{rrrrrrr} \hline \hline el & $\tau$ [yrs] & $\log \epsilon_{\rm atm}$ & $\log X_{\rm atm}$ & $ \log X_{\rm acc}$ & $\log X_\odot$\\ \hline Ca & 0.79 & 0.00 & 0.00 & 0.00 & 0.00 \\ Mg & 0.97 & 1.10 & 0.88 & 0.79 & 1.00 \\ Fe & 0.80 & 0.61 & 0.82 & 0.81 & 1.33 \\ \hline \end{tabular}} \medskip Column~2 gives the time scale in years, Col.~3 the observed number abundances relative to Ca, Col.~4 the observed abundances by mass, also relative to Ca. Column~5 is the predicted abundance in the accreting material, {\em assuming steady state between accretion and diffusion}. The final column shows the solar abundances on the same scale. All abundances are in decadal logarithms. \end{table}
