Data relating to composition and structure of atmosphere and interior of jupiter
Stellar model atmosphere abundance analysis to correlate microturbulent velocity parameters with iron to hydrogen ratio for G dwarfs
He 3 and 4 differential energy spectra and upper limits on primary deuteron flux obtained from balloon sounding for 70-240 Mev/nucleon
Microturbulent velocity parameter correlation to iron-to-hydrogen ratio for G dwarfs, using model atmosphere abundance analyses
Correlation between O isotope ratios and composition of tektites investigated for origin of tektites
Lunar surface material composition in terra region from alpha scattering data on Surveyor 7, noting Si Na abundance
Massive homogeneous star pulsation stability, determining maximum mass by opacity formula
Sulphur in earth core composition, considering volatile element abundances and iron melt in thermal models
Collected photospheric and coronal abundances are presented in tables as summarized from a variety of references. A fairly complete picture of the composition of the solar photosphere for the first 92 elements is developed. Photospheric and coronal abundances are equal to within a factor of 2 (0.3 dex).
A brief survey is made of our present knowledge of the composition and energy spectra of the primary cosmic radiation. The total energy carried by all forms of cosmic radiation that have appreciable penetrability into matter has been evaluated.
Data obtained in a trace element analysis of some anorthosite and anorthositic fragments are presented. The low Mg concentrations of the Apollo 15 anorthosite and the KREEP anorthosite reflect the mineralogical purity of these samples. They are so pure that their composition can be taken as that of liquidus plagioclases. Some of the characteristics of the parent liquids of these plagioclases can be calculated from the liquid-plagioclase distribution coefficients.

The concentrations of the rare earth elements K, Rb, Sr, Ba, U, Zr, and Cr for the Luna 20 soil and four different Apollo 16 soils are reported. These trace element abundances imply: (1) that the lunar highlands consist of a mixture of rocks rich in large ion lithophile (LIL) elements and LIL-element improverished anorthosites; or (2) that the bulk of the aluminum-rich crust did not originate by upward segregation of plagioclase in a primitive liquid shell. The Luna 20 soil is distinguished from the Apollo 16 soil by lower aluminum and LIL element abundances.

Review of the abundances of 24 major, minor, and trace elements measured by instrumental neutron activation analysis in Luna 20 metaigneous rocks, breccia, and soil, and in Apollo 16 soils. The similarities and differences observed are discussed. The bulk compositions of Luna 20 and Apollo 16 rocks and soils show close similarity between the two highland sites. Interelement correlations observed previously for maria are also found in highland samples. Luna 20 and Apollo 16 soils are low in alkalis. Both soils show an apparent Cd-Zn rich component similar to that observed at the mare sites and high Tl abundances relative to mare sites.
A comparison of observed and theoretical mass-luminosity relations for unevolved stars in high-mass eclipsing binary systems and in low-mass visual binary systems is used to find the hydrogen and metals abundances of Population I stars: X = 0.69 plus or minus 0.12 and Z = 0.036 plus or minus 0.039. Alternatively, by adopting Z = 0.03 plus or minus 0.01, one finds X = 0.71 plus or minus 0.03. Limitations of the method are discussed briefly.
