Behavior of Chemical Elements in Stars

Klappentext Basic reference text containing quantitative data on the behaviour of chemical elements in stars. Zusammenfassung This book summarizes the behaviour of the spectral lines of the chemical elements in stars. Despite more than a century of observational stellar spectroscopy! no easily accessible form of the data exists. With the opening of new wavelength regions! the necessity of such basic information is greater than ever. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I.
