Implications of solar wind measurements for solar models and composition
Aldo Serenelli, Pat Scott, Francesco L. Villante +5
We critically examine recent claims of a high solar metallicity by von Steiger \& Zurbuchen (2016) based on \textit{in situ} measurements of the solar wind, rather than the standar…
On the solar nickel and oxygen abundances
Pat Scott, Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse +1
Determinations of the solar oxygen content relying on the neutral forbidden transition at 630 nm depend upon the nickel abundance, due to a Ni I blend. Here we rederive the solar n…
The elemental composition of the Sun I. The intermediate mass elements Na to Ca
Pat Scott, Nicolas Grevesse, Martin Asplund +6
The composition of the Sun is an essential piece of reference data for astronomy, cosmology, astroparticle, space and geo-physics. This article, dealing with the intermediate-mass…
Ag I model atom and the 3D non-LTE solar silver abundance
Sema Caliskan, Anish M. Amarsi, Per Jönsson +2
Silver is an important light neutron-capture element whose stellar abundances help constrain the origin of the weak r-process. The Sun is an important reference point for such stud…
Photospheric constraints, current uncertainties in models of stellar atmospheres, and spectroscopic surveys
Bertrand Plez, Nicolas Grevesse
We summarize here the discussions around photospheric constraints, current uncertainties in models of stellar atmospheres, and reports on ongoing spectroscopic surveys. Rather than…
The elemental composition of the Sun III. The heavy elements Cu to Th
Nicolas Grevesse, Pat Scott, Martin Asplund +1
We re-evaluate the abundances of the elements in the Sun from copper () to thorium (). Our results are mostly based on neutral and singly-ionised lines in the solar spe…
