    In the form of boric acid, price per boron contained. Min. 99% pure. 6: C: Carbon: 2.267: 200 (5.54 × 10 18 kg) 0.122: 0.28: 2018: EIA Coal [19] In the form of anthracite, price per carbon contained, assuming 90% carbon content. There is a wide variation of price of carbon depending on its form.

  3. Fraunhofer lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

    There is disagreement in the literature for some line designations; for example, the Fraunhofer d line may refer to the cyan iron line at 466.814 nm, or alternatively to the yellow helium line (also labeled D 3) at 587.5618 nm. Similarly, there is ambiguity regarding the e line, since it can refer to the spectral lines of both iron (Fe) and ...

  4. Helium star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_star

    A helium star is a class O or B star (blue), which has extraordinarily strong helium lines and weaker than normal hydrogen lines, indicating strong stellar winds and a mass loss of the outer envelope. Extreme helium stars (EHe) entirely lack hydrogen in their spectra. Pure helium stars lie on or near a helium main sequence, analogous to the ...

  5. Helium storage and conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_storage_and...

    Helium storage and conservation. Helium storage and conservation is a process of maintaining supplies of helium and preventing wasteful loss. Helium is commercially produced as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. Until the mid-1990s, the United States Bureau of Mines operated a large scale helium storage facility to support government ...

  6. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    They have strong hydrogen lines, at a maximum by A0, and also lines of ionized metals (Fe II, Mg II, Si II) at a maximum at A5. The presence of Ca II lines is notably strengthening by this point. About 1 in 160 (0.625%) of the main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood are A-type stars, [ c ] [ 10 ] which includes 9 stars within 15 parsecs.

  7. Extreme helium star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_helium_star

    An extreme helium star (abbreviated EHe) is a low-mass supergiant that is almost devoid of hydrogen, the most common chemical element of the Universe.Since there are no known conditions where stars devoid of hydrogen can be formed from molecular clouds, it is theorized that they are the product of the mergers of helium-core and carbon-oxygen core white dwarfs.

  8. B-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-type_main-sequence_star

    tude. (MV) A B-type main-sequence star (B V) is a main-sequence (hydrogen -burning) star of spectral type B and luminosity class V. These stars have from 2 to 16 times the mass of the Sun and surface temperatures between 10,000 and 30,000 K. [1] B-type stars are extremely luminous and blue. Their spectra have strong neutral helium absorption ...

  9. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    A spectral line is a weaker or stronger region in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum. It may result from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies. Spectral lines are often used to identify atoms and molecules. These "fingerprints" can be compared to the previously collected ones ...
