Light Element Abundances
•4He: Generally observed in hot stars and regions of ionized hydrogen.  Produced in stars, which is a complication in determining the primordial abundance.  Technique – determine abundance as function of metallicity and extrapolate to zero metallicity.  See summary by Hogan (1997 – good review of this topic), with typical result of 0.232 uncertain by about 0.005, based on H II regions.
