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
