An opaque Sun? The potential for future, higher opacities to solve the solar abundance problem

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Last year Bailey et al. announced their measurement of iron opacity that increases the Rosseland mean at the base of the solar convection zone by 7%.

The Sun Remains Relatively Refractory Depleted: Elemental Abundances for 17,412 Gaia RVS Solar Analogs and 50 Planet Hosts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The element abundances of stars, particularly the refractory elements (e.g., Fe, Si, and Mg), play an important role in connecting stars to their planets. Most Sun-like stars do not have refractory abundance measurements since obtaining a large sample of

Determining Solar Abundances Using Helioseismology

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
The recent downward revision of solar photospheric abundances of Oxygen and other heavy elements has resulted in serious discrepancies between solar models and solar structure as determined through helioseismology. In this work we investigate the possibility of determining the solar heavy-element abundance without reference to spectroscopy by using ...

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

A comparison of empirical and experimental O7+, O8+, and O/H values, with applications to terrestrial solar wind charge exchange

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
Solar wind charge exchange occurs at Earth between the neutral planetary exosphere and highly charged ions of the solar wind. The main challenge in predicting the resultant photon flux in the X‐ray energy bands is due to the interaction efficiency, known

Extended 3He-rich Time Periods Observed by Solar Orbiter: Magnetic Connectivity and Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Observations of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) using the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph (SIS), which is part of the Energetic Particle Detector suite on the Solar Orbiter mission, present an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the composition and ...

THE LTE SOLAR ABUNDANCE OF NEODYMIUM [PDF]

open access: yesAl-Azhar Bulletin of Science, 2014
We study the solar photospheric abundance of singly ionized neodymium (Nd II) using high resolution spectroscopic data obtained by Fourier transform spectrograph (FTS). Based on the Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium (LTE) assumption, a new value of Nd abundance is derived.

Electrical Conductivities of Conductors, Semiconductors, and Their Mixtures at Elevated Temperatures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents a comprehensive review of temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity data for multiple material classes at elevated temperatures, highlighting a persistent conductivity gap between metals and semiconductors in the range of 102$\left(10\right)^{2}$– 107$\left(10\right)^{7}$ S/m. Metal–ceramic irregular metamaterials are proposed

Universality and variability of the heavy r-process element abundance pattern from a nonequilibrium approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
A striking feature in the observed chemical composition of the majority of stars is the universality of the relative abundances of the heavy elements, although some outliers exist.
