Abstract
We prove that the atom spectrum, which is a topological space associated to an arbitrary abelian category introduced by Kanda, of the category of finitely presented graded modules over a graded ring is given as a union of the homogeneous spectrum of with some additional points, which we call non-standard points. This description of the atom spectrum helps in understanding the sheafification process in toric geometry: if is the Cox ring of a normal toric variety without torus factors, then a finitely presented graded -module sheafifies to zero if and only if its atom support consists only of points in the atom spectrum of which either lie in the vanishing locus of the irrelevant ideal of or are non-standard.
