An analysis of high-resolution Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT)/University College London Échelle Spectrograph (UCLÉS) optical spectra for the ultraviolet (UV)-bright star ROA5701 in the globular cluster ω Cen (NGC5139) is performed, using non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) model atmospheres to estimate stellar atmospheric parameters and chemical composition. Abundances are derived for C, N, O, Mg, Si and S, and compared with those found previously by Moehler et al. We find a general metal underabundance relative to young B-type stars, consistent with the average metallicity of the cluster. Our results indicate that ROA5701 has not undergone a gas-dust separation scenario as previously suggested. However, its abundance pattern does imply that ROA5701 has evolved off the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) prior to the onset of the third dredge-up.
