Stellar electron and positron emission rates and continuum electron and positron capture rates, as well as the associated neutrino energy loss rates, are tabulated for the free nucleons and 226 nuclei with masses between A = 21 and 60. These rates were calculated in accordance with the procedure described in Papers I and II of this series and are presented here in tabular form on an abbreviated temperature and density grid. Results of these calculations on a detailed temperature and density…

Estimates of stellar weak interaction rates for nuclei in the mass range A=65-80
We estimate lepton capture and emission rates, as well as neutrino energy loss rates, for nuclei in the mass range A = 65-80. These rates are calculated on a temperature/density grid appropriate for…
