Stellar nucleosynthesis is the creation (nucleosynthesis) of chemical elements by nuclear fusion reactions within stars. Stellar nucleosynthesis has occurred since the original creation of hydrogen, ...

Others form in the violent processes that mark the demise of more massive stars. Which stars form which elements, and how those elements form, is what stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis aims to ...

In physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (abbreviated BBN, also known as primordial nucleosynthesis, archeonucleosynthesis, archonucleosynthesis, protonucleosynthesis and paleonucleosynthesis) ...

Big Bang nucleosynthesis strongly argues for the former and Type-Ia supernova distances for the latter. Hoyle originally promoted stars as the site of heavy element synthesis to avoid a vexing ...

This self-contained astrophysics textbook for advanced undergraduates explores how stars form, what happens to them as they age, and what becomes of them when they die. Students can investigate the ...

The ALICE collaboration investigated the nucleosynthesis mechanism by measuring hypertriton production in heavy-ion ...

Stars are powerful, dynamic objects that wield a potent force. They can fuse atoms together into entirely new elements, an act called nucleosynthesis. Supernovae are especially effective at this, as ...
