﹩\Delta ( \mathrm{log}\,\epsilon ) ﹩ between each star’s abundance and the mean abundance for all stars. Here we have used for the mean calculation only measurements based on three or more lines, except for Tm, Tb, and Yb, which are usually represented, even in the most heavy‐element–rich star, by one line. These measurements are plotted by large squares. The error bars represent an average 1 σ error bar of the restricted sample for an individual data point. The error bars are large enough to explain the scatter. We also plot the difference between the mean value and measurements based on fewer than three lines, as small squares. The abundances of Nd and Eu, in particular, show the advantage of having multiple measurements.
