Elemental abundances

Thanks to both Robert and Paddy for their valuable links and pointers. I'll be spending all this evening downloading those and the link-tos they turn up into PDFs to tote along on my upcoming dark site visit starting Thursday. No Internet or cell phone up there—in fact, no human presence at all besides me—so I have to load up on everything ahead of time. A lot of spaghetti and tomato sauce goes into the bin along with the PDFs—you know how it is when it comes to cooking at a dark site. And, as a newlywed (first year anniv coming up the 18th), my lovely wife rather prefers to hear me speak of the stars in her eyes vis-à-v is the stars in the skies.

Robert & Paddy, your info about the Magellanics has finally swayed my head from stellar evolution and cluster studies. Thanks for giving me a change in homework plans on this dark-skies run. I'll check back in about 10 days from now.

Cheers to all . . . =Dana
