Nucleosynthesis in Wolf-Rayet stars and galactic cosmic-ray isotopic composition

Conference · · Adv. Space Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5823807
An explanation of the isotopic composition of galactic cosmic rays could provide some clues to the mystery of their origin. It seems now that the strong stellar winds of Wolf-Rayet stars could account for most of the isotopic anomalies that have been observed in cosmic rays. Some results are presented, obtained by detailed nucleosynthesis computations. 25 references.
