• The Two Sources of Solar Energetic Particles (2012, methodology): “In the lower panel of Figure 2.1 we show the SEP abundances (Reames 1995a, 1999) relative to photospheric abundances from Caffau et al. (2011) supplemented by meteoric abundances from Lodders et al. (2009), all normalized at H and plotted as a function of FIP.”
• The elemental composition of the Sun - I. The intermediate mass elements Na to Ca (2014, background): “…complete solar chemical composition, from the pioneering efforts of Russell (1929), Suess & Urey (1956) and Goldberg et al. (1960) to the more recent works of Anders & Grevesse (1989), Grevesse & Sauval (1998), Lodders (2003), Asplund et al. (2005), Lodders et al. (2009) and Asplund et al. (2009).”
• The elemental composition of the Sun: II. The iron group elements Sc to Ni (2014, methodology): “The derived abundance is almost 3σ below the meteoritic value (Lodders et al. 2009), quite a striking discrepancy when one considers that agreement between photospheric and meteoritic values is typically quite good (cf. Anders & Grevesse 1989, hereafter AG89; AGSS09; Lodders et al. 2009).”
• DISEQUILIBRIUM CARBON, OXYGEN, AND NITROGEN CHEMISTRY IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF HD 189733b AND HD 209458b (2011, methodology): “We assume a 1× protosolar composition atmosphere (Lodders 2003, 2009; Lodders et al. 2009) in thermochemical equilibrium for our initial conditions for all the constituents, using the NASA CEA code (Gordon & McBride 1994) for the equilibrium calculations.”
• H− Opacity and Water Dissociation in the Dayside Atmosphere of the Very Hot Gas Giant WASP-18b (2018, methodology): “…abundances are derived using the NASA CEA2 Gibbs-free energy minimization routine (Gordon & McBride 1994) given the elemental abundances scaled from Lodders et al. (2009) via the metallicity, [M/H], and carbon-to-oxygen ratio, C/O, while accounting for the depletion of elements due to condensate…”
• The Effect of Jupiter's Formation on the Distribution of Refractory Elements and Inclusions in Meteorites (2017, background): “Lodders et al. (2009) reported abundances in the Sun and in CI chondrites (normalized to Si) for which uncertainties were < 0.1 dex, or about 25%.”
• The elemental composition of the Sun - III. The heavy elements Cu to Th (2014, methodology): “Our 3D LTE solar abundance of silver is log Ag = 0.96 ± 0.10 (±0.09 stat, ±0.06 sys), in agreement with the earlier value from Grevesse (1984; log Ag = 0.94 ± 0.25), but well below the meteoritic abundance 12 (log Ag = 1.20 ± 0.02; Lodders et al. 2009).”
• Alpha Particle X‐Ray Spectrometer (APXS): Results from Gusev crater and calibration report (2006, background): “This Ni content corresponds to an admixture of 3.2 wt.-% carbonaceous chondrite type 1 (CI) [Palme and Beer, 1993] as an upper limit.”
• Calcium-48 isotopic anomalies in bulk chondrites and achondrites: Evidence for a uniform isotopic reservoir in the inner protoplanetary disk (2014, positive): “3 with the solar 48Ca/50Ti ratio of 0.88 (Lodders et al., 2009), we estimate (48Ca/50Ti)presolar end-member = 0.96 ± 0.11.”
• A New Generation of Standard Solar Models (2016, methodology): “For refractories, however, meteorites offer a very valuable alternative method (see e.g. Lodders et al. 2009) and, in fact, elemental abundances determined from meteorites have been historically more robust than spectroscopic ones.”
