The Formation of Elements in Stars and Supernovae

Abstract

This paper delves into the fascinating processes by which elements are formed within the fiery cores of stars and the explosive finales of supernovae. From nucleosynthesis reactions to the origins of heavy elements, we explore the intricate mechanisms that govern element formation. By dissecting the roles of different types of stars and the cataclysmic events of supernovae, we shed light on the cosmic factories responsible for the creation of the elements that make up our universe.
