A300 IC Anion is also available in a 100 mm X 10 mm i. d. format (Star Ion A300 HC), which has a higher ion-exchange capacity due to the larger inner diameter of the column. According to the manufacturer, this column is particularly well-suited for trace bromate analysis in drinking water. 

The astrochemistty of ions may be divided into topics of interstellar clouds, stellar atmospheres, planetary atmospheres and comets. There are many areas of astrophysics (stars, planetary nebulae, novae, supemovae) where highly ionized species are important, but beyond the scope of ion chemistry . (Still, molecules, including H2O, are observed in solar spectra [155] and a surprise in the study of Supernova 1987A was the identification of molecular species, CO, SiO and possibly ITf[156. 157]. ) In the early universe, after expansion had cooled matter to the point that molecules could fonn, the small fraction of positive and negative ions that remained was crucial to the fomiation of molecules, for example [156]... 

The gel permeation chromatogram shown in Fig. 6 illustrates the purity of a block copolymer obtained by ion coupling. It is seen that about 5% of uncoupled block copolymer contaminates a triblock copolymer of narrow molecular weight distribution. The synthesis of star block polymers owes its recent development to the use of new coupling agents412. ... 

Stardust February 7, 1999, saw the start of NASA s Stardust mission the cometary probe, the first mission to collect cosmic dust and return the sample to Earth, has a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (CIDA, Cometary and Interstellar Dust Analyser) on board. This analyses the ions which are formed when cosmic dust particles hit the instrument s surface. In June 2004, the probe reached its goal, the comet 8 IPAVild 2, getting as close as 236 km The CIDA instrument, which was developed at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching (near Munich), studied both cometary dust and interstellar star dust. 

In the Galaxy, we know 93 (3 Cephei (Stankov Handler 2004) and about 100 SPB-type stars (De Cat et al. 2004). They fall within the instability strips predicted by the theory. The K-mechanism driving pulsations in (3 Cephei and SPB stars strongly depends on the abundance of the iron-group ions in the driving zone at temperatures around 2 x 105 K (Dziembowski Pamyatnykh 1993, Dziembowski et al. 1993). Theoretical models predict that pulsations of (3 Cephei and SPB-type vanish for Z = 0.01 and Z = 0.006, respectively (Pamyatnykh 1999). 

Table 2 shows every measured value necessary to calculate the average molweight of silicates in various solutions. It also permits to follow the step by step calculation as detailed in our previous papers [8,9], It was found that, in contrast to the common belief, every dilute alkaline silicate dissociates only partly at the concentrations studied. The AMW, expressed as number of [Si04] tetrahedra per silicate ion in the last column of this table, clearly depends on the type of A+ ions, the A/Si ratios, and the concentration. In general AMW decreases with increasing dilution as one can expect and it is lower in the high A/Si ratio silicates (Kasil 1624 and Star) than in the other silicates at comparable concentrations. 

Photon-dominated region (PDR) The region around a bright star where photochemical processes dominate the ion-electron, plasma-like state of matter. 

Atoms, ions and molecules present in the stars provide additional opacity at wavelengths corresponding to specific atomic transitions these give rise to comparatively narrow absorption lines (see Fig. 3.2) with intensities related to the abundances of the relevant elements (and much else). Despite the name, processes other than pure absorption (e.g. scattering and fluorescence) are involved in the production of these lines and, while they are often treated in LTE, this is now only a simplifying approximation which often works fairly well, but needs to be checked by more detailed calculations for each particular case. (In some cases, there are even emission lines or emission components, e.g. the solar Ca+ H and K lines in the near UV, which are so strong that the chromosphere affects their central parts.)... 

Another view, equally consistent with the source abundances and better suited to account for the abundance of light elements like beryllium in stars of the Galactic halo (see below), is that dust particles in the supernova ejecta are the source of ions that are preferentially accelerated within the hot, tenuous gas of superbubbles surrounding regions of star formation (Lingenfelter, Ramaty Kozlovsky 1998). 

Table 11.1 lists the resulting low-temperature phases calculated for this set of compounds. Where experimental data are available (marked with a star) the predicted structures are those observed at low temperatures. Inverse denotes a perovskite structure in which a large divalent ion is 12-coordinate and a smaller univalent ion 6-coordinate. Unit cell dimensions are predicted to within 1% of the measured values.
