interstellar material that has been sampled directly by in situ measurements of interstellar …

A unified representation of gas-phase element depletions in the interstellar medium

EB Jenkins - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A study of gas-phase element abundances reported in the literature for 17
different elements sampled over 243 sight lines in the local part of our Galaxy reveals that …

through the inversion of large catalogues of distance-extinction pairs for individual target …

The trouble with the Local Bubble

BY Welsh, RL Shelton - Astrophysics and Space Science, 2009 - Springer
The model of a Local Hot Bubble has been widely accepted as providing a framework that
can explain the ubiquitous presence of the soft X-ray background diffuse emission. We …

The accretion-diffusion scenario for metals in cool white dwarfs

D Koester, D Wilken - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 - aanda.org
We calculated diffusion timescales for Ca, Mg, Fe in hydrogen atmosphere white dwarfs with
temperatures between 5000 and 25 000 K. With these timescales we determined accretion …
