First, describe the background of this experiment. Estimate the wavelength shifts, the resulting velocity including the error margins (non-linear error propagation!). Determine the b parameters of the curve of growths and the column densities of the different elements. Use the above formula to calculate the relative abundances in respect to solar values and their deviation from those values in percent. | First, describe the background of this experiment.
