- RuI is radiative lifetimes and stellar abundances
- Published at:Reprinted from Journal of the Optical Society of America B, Vol. 2, p. 422,
Radiative lifetimes for 50 odd-parity levels in Ru I are determined using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence on a Ru atomic beam. The implication of the lifetime measurements for the Ru abundance in red giant stars with an enhanced heavy-element abundance is discussed.
