Stellar nucleosynthesis and the cosmic-ray source composition up to Zn

Conference · · Adv. Space Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5704330
A critical review is presented of the predictions of various nucleosynthetic models which may be relevant to the elemental and isotopic cosmic ray source composition. In particular, the yields of the elements between helium and zinc expected from various supernova models are compared with the bulk galactic cosmic ray source elemental composition. The origin of the C, Ne-22, Mg-25, and Mg-26 excess with respect to the solar system inferred at the cosmic ray sources is examined in the light of some specific scenarios, and especially in the framework of Wolf-Rayet star nucleosynthesis. 60 references.
