Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars with Improved Nuclear and Stellar Physics
Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars with Improved Nuclear and Stellar Physics
We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their radioactive progenitors in stellar models computed from the onset of central hydrogen burning through explosion as Type II supernovae. Calculations are performed for Pop I stars of 15, 19, 20, 21, and 25 M_sun using …
