Correlation of Source Abundances of Ultraheavy Cosmic Rays with First Ionization Potential - Results from HEAO-3

Abstract

The cosmic-ray-source abundances inferred from HEAO-3 observation by the Heavy Nuclei Experiment for 30 < Z < 60 generally follow the correlation with first-ionization potential which has previously been observed for Z < 30. However the low Ge abundance suggests that the elemental "volatility" may be an organizing factor.
