It's amazing that in astronomy/astrophysics we have several ways of communicating the exact same piece of information requiring the researcher to have to constantly convert between the various methods.

For example, elemental abundance (the amount an element in an object).
As measured this is usually presented as a ratio of element A to element B as we can measure the brightness of both lines and the abundance ratio is proportional thus:abundance=A/B and can be reported as such. ../
