- ... ratio [Fe/H]
- The abundance ratio [X/Y] for two elements X and Y is defined as
where
is the element abundance of element X by number
relative to hydrogen.

- Presently we neglect the possibility that stars
from the region of initial masses
may become super-AGB
stars (e.g. Gil-Pons & García-Berro 2002)

- ... dust
- As key element we usually choose the one of all the elements forming the
considered dust species, for which the quantity
takes the lowest
value. Here
is the abundance of an element by number relative to H,
and i is the number of atoms of the element in the chemical formula of the
compound. The key element determines the maximum amount of dust material that
can be formed for the considered species.

- ... normal
- It is a little puzzling
that the STARDUST particles analysed so far mainly seem to be material
from the Solar System (see Zolensky et al. 2006;
McKeegan et al. 2006).
