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
