The elemental composition of the Sun II. The iron group elements Sc to
  Ni
  We redetermine the abundances of all iron group nuclei in the Sun, based on
neutral and singly-ionised lines of Sc, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni in the solar
spectrum. We employ a realistic 3D hydrodynamic model solar atmosphere,
corrections for departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE),
stringent line selection procedures and high quality observational data. We
have scoured the literature for the best quality oscillator strengths,
hyperfine constants and isotopic separations available for our chosen lines. We
find $\log \epsilon_\mathrm{Sc}=3.16\pm0.04$, $\log
\epsilon_\mathrm{Ti}=4.93\pm0.04$, $\log \epsilon_\mathrm{V}=3.89\pm0.08$,
$\log \epsilon_\mathrm{Cr}=5.62\pm0.04$, $\log
\epsilon_\mathrm{Mn}=5.42\pm0.04$, $\log \epsilon_\mathrm{Fe}=7.47\pm0.04$,
$\log \epsilon_\mathrm{Co}=4.93\pm0.05$ and $\log
\epsilon_\mathrm{Ni}=6.20\pm0.04$. Our uncertainties factor in both statistical
and systematic errors (the latter estimated for possible errors in the model
atmospheres and NLTE line formation). The new abundances are generally in good
agreement with the CI meteoritic abundances but with some notable exceptions.
This analysis constitutes both a full exposition and a slight update of the
preliminary results we presented in Asplund, Grevesse, Sauval & Scott
(arXiv:0909.0948), including full line lists and details of all input data we
employed.
