Any study of nucleosynthesis must have one ofits key objectives an accurate, physically motivated explanation for the pattern of abundances that we find in nature -- in the solar system (i.e., the sun) and in other locations in the cosmos(other stars, the ISM, cosmic rays, IGM, and other galaxies)
Key to that is accurate information on that pattern in the sun.
For solar abundances there are three main sources:
• The Earth - good for isotopic composition only
• The solar spectrum
• Meteorites, especially primitive ones

The solar abundance distribution - should reflect the composition of the ISM when and where the sun was born

History:
1889, Frank W. Clarke read a paper before the PhilosophicalSociety of Washington “The Relative Abundance of the Chemical Elements”

Absorption Spectra:
provide majority of data for elemental abundances because:• by far the largest number of elements can be observed• least fractionation as right at end of convection zone - still well mixed• well understood - good models available
solar spectrum (Nigel Sharp, NOAO)

![Page 11: Lecture 2 Abundances. Any study of nucleosynthesis must have one of its key objectives an accurate, physically motivated explanation for the pattern of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e5d5503460f94b55368/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Complications:
• Oscillator strength:
Needs to be measured in the laboratory - still not done with sufficient accuracyfor a number of elements.
• Line width
Depends on atomic properties but also thermal and turbulent broadening. Need an atmospheric model.
• Ionization State
![Page 12: Lecture 2 Abundances. Any study of nucleosynthesis must have one of its key objectives an accurate, physically motivated explanation for the pattern of](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e5d5503460f94b55368/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Emission Spectra:
Disadvantages: • less understood, more complicated solar regions (it is still not clear how exactly these layers are heated)• some fractionation/migration effects for example FIP: species with low first ionization potential are enhanced in respect to photosphere possibly because of fractionation between ions and neutral atoms
Therefore abundances less accurate
But there are elements that cannot be observed in the photosphere(for example helium is only seen in emission lines)
Solar Chromospherered from H emissionlines
this is how Heliumwas discovered bySir Joseph Lockyer ofEngland in 20 October 1868.

MeteoritesMeteorites can provide accurate information on elemental abundancesin the presolar nebula. More precise than solar spectra if data in some cases. Principal source for isotopic information.
But some gases escape and cannot be determined this way (for example hydrogen, or noble gases)
Not all meteorites are suitable - most of them are fractionatedand do not provide representative solar abundance information.
Classification of meteorites:
Group Subgroup Frequency
Stones Chondrites 86%
Achondrites 7%
Stony Irons 1.5%
Irons 5.5%
One needs primitive meteorites that underwent little modification after forming.

Use carbonaceous chondrites (~6% of falls)
Chondrites: Have Chondrules - small ~1mm size shperical inclusions in matrix believed to have formed very early in the presolar nebula accreted together and remained largely unchanged since then
Carbonaceous Chondrites have lots of organic compounds that indicate very little heating (some were never heated above 50 degrees)

“Some carbonaceous chondrites smell. They contain volatile compounds that slowly give off chemicals with a distinctive organic aroma. Most types of carbonaceous chondrites (and there are lots of types) contain only about 2% organic compounds, but these are very important for understanding how organic compounds might have formed in the solar system. They even contain complex compounds such as amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.”

Differences between solar photospheric and meteoritic abundances in 1998. Most discrepancies were by then less than a factor of 30% but there were notable exceptions –Tb, In, W, Li..

Remaining discrepancies resolved for Ho, Lu, Tb as a consequence of better atomic physics for the spectral model. In and W remain problems. In especially a mystery.Is it volatility or atomic physics or both?

Summary: (Lodders 2003)
• 41 out of 56 rock forming elements, photospheric and meteoritic agree to within 15%
• Relatively large disagreements still exist for elements with uncertain oscillator strengths - Au, Hf, In, Mn, Sn, Tm, W, and Yb - and for elements uncertain in meteorites - Cl, Ga, Rb
• Most discrepant are W and In
• X(4He) - protosolar - 0.2741 +- 0.012
• Li depleted in sun by factor of 150. Be and B not depleted in the sun
• Ne and Ar are mainly from solar wind and flares and thus uncertain (< 0.2 dex). Ar has been seen in the solar spectrum. Kr and Xe abundances based in part on theory (n-capture cross sections)

Abundances outside the solar neighborhood ?
Abundances outside the solar system can be determined through:
• Stellar absorption spectra of other stars than the sun• Interstellar absorption spectra• Emission lines, H II regions• Emission lines from Nebulae (Supernova remnants, Planetary nebulae, …)• -ray detection from the decay of radioactive nuclei• Cosmic Rays• Presolar grains in meteorites
