Abstract

The determination of stellar abundances is the most directobservational test for astronuclear physics. The reliability ofsuch determinations depends on the quality of the observationaldata, but also critically on a correct understanding of allatmospheric processes as well as on fundamental atomic andmolecular data. We illustrate this different aspects with severalrecent examples which served as a general introduction to the"round table" on this subject.
