III/121     Stellar Abundances (Marecki+ 1986)
================================================================================
Catalogue of Stellar Abundances
    Marecki A., Strobel J., Strobel A.
    <Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino (1986)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Abundances

Description:
   The catalog consists of two parts - the first contains the published 
   abundances, the second gives the bibliographic references to the data.
   In addition to the abundance of individual elements the values of the
   metal-to-hydrogen parameter in the form (M/H) are also given.  For each
   abundance a numerical code for the bibliographic reference is added.

Note on Unit:
    Code of the form of the abundance determination as cited in the original 
    literature:
            1 = (Nel/Nel) relative to the reference star
            2 = log(Nel/Nel) relative to the
                 reference star
            3 = log(Nel) for log.H = 12 or log.H = 24
            4 = (Nel/Nel)
            5 = other form

Note on n_Stand:
    Code for the reference object relative to which the abundance 
    is determined:
            O = the Sun
            S = the star other than the Sun
            B = other reference "object" like average
                 value of the abundance of a given element for a group 
                 of stars

Note on Method:
    Code for the method of abundance determination:
            H = based on spectra of high dispersion (up to 20 Angstrom/mm)
            S = based on spectra of small dispersion
            P = based on photographic photometry
            E = based on photoelectric photometry
