Review of the history of solar system elemental abundances with a new assessment of elemental and isotopic abundances from CI-chondrites and solar data. Solar elemental abundances, or solar system elemental abundances refer to the complement of chemical elements in the entire solar system. The sun contains more than 99-percent of the mass in the solar system and therefore the composition of the sun is a good proxy for the composition of the overall solar system. The solar system composition can be taken as the overall composition of the molecular cloud within the interstellar medium from which the solar system formed 4.567 billion years ago. Active research areas in astronomy and cosmochemistry model collapse of a molecular cloud of solar composition into a star with a planetary system, and the physical and chemical fractionation of the elements during planetary formation and differentiation. The solar system composition is the initial composition from which all solar system objects (the sun, terrestrial planets, gas giant planets, planetary satellites and moons, asteroids, Kuiper-belt objects, and comets) were derived. (Abstract truncated).

  1. A quest for sulfur-bearing refractory species. Identification of CaS in the interstellar medium

    astro-ph.GA 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First interstellar detections of CaS, KS, and KSH in disk G351.77-mm1, with column densities three orders of magnitude below those of SO2, CH3SH, and SiS.

  2. Magnesium Silicate Clouds in the Atmosphere of HD 209458b from a Rule-Based Tree-Structured Data Reduction

    astro-ph.EP 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    JWST MIRI/LRS data combined with archival observations detect magnesium silicate clouds (likely Mg2SiO4) in HD 209458b at 1-10 mbar with ~0.1 micron particles using a new rule-based data reduction approach.

  3. Evidence for neutron capture in heavy-metal hot subdwarfs: Far-UV spectroscopy of EC22536-5304 and LSIV-14 116

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Far-UV spectroscopy of two hot subdwarfs reveals extreme heavy-element enrichments with patterns matching i-process nucleosynthesis, indicating self-enrichment rather than diffusion.

  4. Phase-dependent chemistry of WASP-43 b revealed with a suite of one-, two-, and three-dimensional models

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Horizontal quenching at wind speeds ≳500 m/s, plus carbon-sulfur chemistry, explains the MIRI non-detection of night-side methane on WASP-43 b without requiring high metallicity.

  5. White dwarfs within 13 pc: Insights from ultraviolet spectroscopy

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UV spectroscopy of the 44 nearest white dwarfs reveals a 2–6% temperature discrepancy between UV and optical model fits, six UV-only metal detections, and a 30% planetary debris accretion rate.

  6. Limited imprint of high-mass IMF variations on sodium abundances in main-sequence galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    High-mass IMF variations change sodium abundance by less than 0.1 dex in galaxies of 10^9 to 10^11 solar masses because sodium and oxygen production are similar.
