Nucleosynthesis in X-ray bursts

The origin of the most abundant p-nuclei {sup 92}Mo, {sup 94}Mo, {sup 96}Ru and {sup 98}Ru in the solar system is still not understood. We examined the possibility that these nuclei had been synthesized in the rp-process under high density and temperature conditions typical for explosive hydrogen burning on accreting neutron stars (X-ray bursts).
