  2. Stellar nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_nucleosynthesis

    This core convection occurs in stars where the CNO cycle contributes more than 20% of the total energy. As the star ages and the core temperature increases, the region occupied by the convection zone slowly shrinks from 20% of the mass down to the inner 8% of the mass. [25] The Sun produces on the order of 1% of its energy from the CNO cycle.

  3. CNO cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNO_cycle

    A self-maintaining CNO chain starts at approximately 15 × 10 6 K, but its energy output rises much more rapidly with increasing temperatures [1] so that it becomes the dominant source of energy at approximately 17 × 10 6 K. [4] The Sun has a core temperature of around 15.7 × 10 6 K, and only 1.7% of 4 He nuclei produced in the Sun are born ...

  4. Nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

    The first direct proof that nucleosynthesis occurs in stars was the astronomical observation that interstellar gas has become enriched with heavy elements as time passed. As a result, stars that were born from it late in the galaxy, formed with much higher initial heavy element abundances than those that had formed earlier.

  5. Proton–proton chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton–proton_chain

    The total energy yield of one whole chain is 26.73 MeV. Energy released as gamma rays will interact with electrons and protons and heat the interior of the Sun. Also kinetic energy of fusion products (e.g. of the two protons and the 4 2 He from the p–p I reaction) adds energy to the plasma in the Sun.

  6. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. Light-dependent reactions are certain photochemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, the main process by which plants acquire energy. There are two light dependent reactions: the first occurs at photosystem II (PSII) and the second occurs at photosystem I (PSI).

  7. Stellar structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_structure

    For energy transport refer to Radiative transfer.. The different transport mechanisms of high-mass, intermediate-mass and low-mass stars. Different layers of the stars transport heat up and outwards in different ways, primarily convection and radiative transfer, but thermal conduction is important in white dwarfs.

  8. Supernova nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_nucleosynthesis

    Supernova nucleosynthesis is the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements in supernova explosions.. In sufficiently massive stars, the nucleosynthesis by fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones occurs during sequential hydrostatic burning processes called helium burning, carbon burning, oxygen burning, and silicon burning, in which the byproducts of one nuclear fuel become, after ...
