Cameron, A G.W.

Notes for a series of lectures on stellar evolution, nuclear astrophysics, and nucleogenesis are presented. Topics covered include galaxy development, nuclear and thermonuclear reactions (particularly heavy-ion, helium, and hydrogen reactions), reaction rates, stellar evolution, abundances of elements and nuclides, stellar evolution, supernova explosions, neutron capture, physical conditions in stellar interiors, and the Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams. The lectures were intended to look at the development of different kinds of stars, the nuclear reactions which can go on in their interiors and the bearing of these considerations on the chemical composition of the universe and origin of the elements.
