| 内容記述 | In the interstellar medium, a significant fraction of the free atoms for elements heavier than helium must have condensed into solids, in the form of small, interstellar dust grains. Observations of optical and ultraviolet absorption lines in the spectra of hot stars indicate that the depletions below the cosmic abundances of various elements range from almost none at all to a factor of 0.0001 and seem to be enhanced along lines of sight with higher mean density. Other methods of measuring abundances confirm the absorption line results. The available evidence supports the notion that the grains form in both the atmospheres of cool stars and in dense interstellar clouds, and they are destroyed by shocks which frequently pass through the low density gas. |
