Carbon-Burning Nucleosynthesis at Constant Temperature
Abstract
Synthesis of elements during thermonuclear burning of carbon is examined at a series of temperatures (T9 = 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4) and for several initial compositions. Recent experimental results for the (`2C + `2C)-reaction are used. A general method for numerical solution of nuclear-reaction networks is described. At the higher temperatures in the range now thought to to be appropriate for carbon burning in stars, T9 > 1, the Na/Mg ratio is similar to that of the Sun. At all temperatures considerable produc- tion of 20Ne occurs. By using the results of the reaction-network calculations, a simple analytic expression for energy generation during carbon burning is constructed. Neutron exposures during carbon burning are presented for investigation of the s-process

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
