  • Not included: Cataclysmic variable star
  • Binary and ternary star systems not included.
  • Not included: Supernovae of any kind.
  • Not included: Heavier elements closer to the center.
  • Not included: Population I, II, III stars. III are oldest, and have no or almost no elements higher than H/He. II have some "metals", but are poor. I are newest (and biggest since bigger stars have short lifespans, they can't be older populations (citation needed)) and have the highest concentration of metals.
  • Metallicity: X+Y+Z=1.00 where X is H, Y is He, and Z is every other element. Relates to Populations, not included currently.
