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…

The elemental composition of the Sun II. The iron group elements Sc to Ni

Pat Scott, Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse +2

We redetermine the abundances of all iron group nuclei in the Sun, based on neutral and singly-ionised lines of Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni in the solar spectrum. We employ a real…

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…

The chemical composition of the Sun

Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse, A. Jacques Sauval +1

The solar chemical composition is an important ingredient in our understanding of the formation, structure and evolution of both the Sun and our solar system. Furthermore, it is an…

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…

Line formation in solar granulation VII. CO lines and the solar C and O isotopic abundances

Patrick C. Scott, Martin Asplund, Nicolas Grevesse +1

CO spectral line formation in the Sun has long been a source of consternation for solar physicists, as have the elemental abundances it seems to imply. We modelled solar CO line fo…
