SN Refsdal

I have analyzed the spectrum of the SN Refsdal.

                       

Then, I have calculated the percentage of each element with respect to the total area.

The results I have obtained are the following:

TOTAL AREA: 87443

AREA PEAK 1     %= (43336/87443) x 100 = 45,55% Iron

 

SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES:
I have compared my results with a scientific article (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2041-8205/804/1/L14/meta#apjl511665s3). In it he explains that the elements found in SN Refsdal are metallic and the most common are iron, oxygen and hydrogen.
