ABUNDANCES OF ELEMENTS IN STARS AND NEBULAE (DETERMINATION OF RATIO OF GAS PRESSURE TOELECTRON PRESSURE IN STELLAR ATMOSPHERES).

Abstract

The ratio of gas pressure (P sub g) to electron pressure (P sub e) has been computed over a range of temperatures by an approximate method and also by a more exact IBM 709 program. The approximate method shows large errors at low temperatures and high gas pressures. Tables give the values of log P sub g and log P sub e computed by the 709 as well as the relative abundances to which these values refer. (Author)
