The Revival of Galactic Cosmic Ray Nucleosynthesis?
Because of the roughly linear correlation between Be/H and Fe/H in low metallicity halo stars, it has been argued that a “primary” component in the nucleosynthesis of Be must be present in addition to the “secondary” component from standard Galactic cosmic ray nucleosynthesis. In this paper we critically re-evaluate the evidence for the primary versus secondary character of Li, Be, and B evolut...
متن کاملBig-Bang Nucleosynthesis and Galactic Chemical Evolution
Deuterium is the best indicator of the baryon density; however, only its present abundance is known (and only locally) and its chemical evolution is intertwined with that of He. Because galactic abundances are spatially heterogeneous, mean chemical-evolution models are not well suited for extrapolating the pre-solar D and He abundances to their primeval values. We introduce a new approach which...
متن کاملHypernova Nucleosynthesis and Galactic Chemical Evolution
We study nucleosynthesis in ’hypernovae’, i.e., supernovae with very large explosion energies ( ∼ > 10 ergs) for both spherical and aspherical explosions. The hypernova yields compared to those of ordinary corecollapse supernovae show the following characteristics: 1) Complete Siburning takes place in more extended region, so that the mass ratio between the complete and incomplete Si burning re...
متن کاملNova nucleosynthesis and Galactic evolution of the CNO isotopes
In this paper we study the role played both by novae and single stars in enriching the interstellar medium of the Galaxy with CNO group nuclei, in the framework of a detailed successful model for the chemical evolution of both the Galactic halo and disc. First, we consider only the nucleosynthesis from single low-mass, intermediate-mass and massive stars. In particular, the nucleosynthesis pres...
متن کاملProbing the Neutron-Capture Nucleosynthesis History of Galactic Matter
The heavy elements formed by neutron-capture processes have an interesting history from which we can extract useful clues to and constraints upon both the characteristics of the processes themselves and the star formation and nucleosynthesis history of Galactic matter. Of particular interest in this regard are the heavyelement compositions of extremely metal deficient stars. At metallicities [F...
