Abstract

Some energy levels of Sr 87 shows hyperfine splitting which broadens strontium lines in the solar spectrum. By analysis of two faint photospheric Sr i lines of Multiplet No. 3 an upper limit of the relative Sr 87 content (Sr 87/Sr) of 1/4 has been found. The terrestrial value is 0.07–0.075.

The solar abundance of strontium found from the two lines is log ɛ Sr = 2.90 in the log ɛ H = 12.00 scale. Using the solar rubidium abundance recently determined by the author (Hauge, 1972), one obtains ɛ Rb/ɛ Sr = 0.5±0.1. This value is larger than found even in chondrites showing high rubidium content.
