Notes. The initial elemental abundance set for QU Vul is considered by taking an average over all four epochs (D310, D470, D550, and D630; Schwarz 2002). The initial elemental abundances of the ejecta (only those that were observed) are noted. All other elements (without observed lines) are kept at their solar abundances (Grevesse & Noels 1993; Grevesse et al. 2010). (*)Relative to solar values. (a)High-density (“clump”) component of ejecta. (b)Low-density (“diffuse”) component of ejecta.
