Learn Some Basic Astrophysics
If you have a hankering to learn some basic astrophysics, you may be interested in taking a look at a paper that was made available today, online now here, based upon a lecture given at a special summer school on nuclear astrophysics in Italy this past summer. Dr. Christian Iliadis of the University of North Carolina provides a basic overview of the nuclear reactions in the interiors of stars and explains the abundance of chemical elements in the universe based upon the life cycle of stars.
