A previous paper (Blackwell and Collins, 1972) discusses the use of a new improved furnace (Collins et al., 1971) in conjunction with low-noise spectrometers (Blackwell et al., 1967) for the measurement of relative oscillator strengths. The new experimental arrangement offers several important advan

β¦ Synopsis
A preliminary solar Mn abundance of logN(Mn) = 5.41 (logN(H) = 12.00) is derived on the basis of fitting theoretical line profiles which include hyperfine structure (HFS) broadening to the profiles of the 225394.7, 5432.6, and 5537.8 lines of Mn observed at the center of the solar disk with the double-pass spectrograph of the McMath solar telescope at Kitt Peak. Both the Mn abundance and the collisional damping constant were varied during the fitting procedure in order to minimize the rms deviation between the observed and computed profiles.

A detailed observational study of the solar photospheric lithium feature has been carried out with emphasis on center-limb observations, continuum location, possible effects of telluric lines, effects of blending by atomic and molecular lines, and decomposition of the solar spectrum around 26707 A.
The solar abundance of lithium and its isotopic abundance ratio were determined by comparing synthetic spectra with the high quality center-to-limb spectra of the solar lithium feature presented in Paper I by Brault and Mtiller (1974). The following possible effects on the abundance result were cons
