1 Hydrogen & Helium Burning in Stars What remains to be done and how to do it! Hydrogen Burning: 4 He, 14 N Helium Burning: 12 C, 16 O, 22 Ne, n, s-nuclei Alba Formicola (on behalf of LUNA collaboration) 10 Si-ignition O-ignition Ne-ignition 9 C-ignition log (T c ) 8 He-ignition 7 H-ignition log ( c )
2 Solar system abundances M < 8 M star switches off (white black dwarf) M > 8 M star explodes (supernova) H burning He He burning C, O, Ne C/O Si burning Fe explosive burning relative abundance the ambitious task of Nuclear Astrophysics is to explain the origin and relative abundance of the elements in the Universe Atomic number 2
3 Globular cluster M 10 Red giant stars: H He via CNO cycles in H shell surrounding He core Horizontal branch stars: He C, O in core H He in shell Main sequence stars: H He via pp chains in core Accurate nuclear physics information is crucial for understanding of stars How do other stars produce energy? How do they evolve? Credner & Kohle, Sternwarte Bonn
