The Solar Chemical Composition

Dr Nicolas Grevesse

Institut d'Astrophysique and Centre Spatial de Liege, University of Liege, Belgium

3.30pm, Tuesday 25 September 2001, Seminar Room (AR103), Graduate Research School

We review chemical abundances derived from different sources in the solar system in order to derive standard chemical composition for solar matter. This is essentially obtained from solar data as well as meteoritic data. The solar data are based on the analysis of photospheric spectra, on solar wind and solar energetic particle data and also on solar oscillation inversion for helium.
