So how is it that nickel is present on this thing with zero corresponding iron?

> We report detection of CN emission and also detect numerous Ni I lines while Fe I remains undetected, potentially implying efficiently released gas-phase Ni.

Where does it say there is zero iron? This is an upper bound, not zero.

"FE I remains undetected"

Remains Undetected. Pretty crystal clear.

[ccgreg]

No. Undetected iron and zero iron are different. Source: astronomer.

"Undetected" is not an "upper bound." Source: computer scientist.

[ccgreg]

Undetected means you can compute an upper bound, based on the performance of your instrument. Again, these are undergraduate level concepts.

Again, you’re being obtuse but well leave it there. Good day.
