The heavier rare gases^<br />

Bie rare gases with the exception of helium are not observed in the<br />

sun because of Its low temperature and their lo^ abundanceo<br />

Neon ai^ argon<br />

have been observed in 0 typo<br />

stars and planetazy nebulae. The data are reviewed<br />

by IJnsftld (1948) and by Aller (1953) o Certainly the probable limits of error<br />

are very large because the observed lin^s are those of the ions sad it is difficult<br />

to estimate the conditions of excitation with sufficient accuracy to secure<br />

the abundances within better than a factor of 10 with certalntyo<br />

The ratios of the rare gases in the atmosphere are well known
