Principles of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis : with a new preface
Donald D. Clayton's "Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis" remains the standard work on the subject, a popular textbook for students in astronomy and astrophysics and a rich sourcebook…
Short-Lived Radioactivities and the Birth of the sun
Now extinct short-lived radioactive isotopes were apparently extant in the early solar system. Their abundances can be inferred from isotopic effects in their daughter nuclei in primitive meteorites,…

Galactic Evolution of Silicon Isotopes: Application to Presolar SiC Grains from Meteorites
We calculate and discuss the chemical evolution of the isotopic silicon abundances in the interstellar medium (ISM) at distances and times appropriate to the birth of the solar system. This has…

The Explosive Burning of Oxygen and Silicon
This paper analyzes the explosive burning of oxygen and silicon. Major emphasis is on nuclear details of how the fuel burns and of the nucleosynthesis that results from the burning. By characterizing…

Condensation of Carbon in Radioactive Supernova Gas
TLDR
Carbon dust condenses from initially gaseous carbon and oxygen atoms because energetic electrons produced by radioactivity in the supernova cause dissociation of the carbon monoxide molecules, which would otherwise form and limit the supply of carbon atoms.
