ABSTRACT THERE is now considerable evidence to support the view that supernovae can be caused by the explosive ignition of degenerate material in evolved stars1. The conditions leading to
such ignition have recently been investigated by Arnett (ref. 2 and private communication). Explosive carbon-burning produces elements ranging from Ne to Si, and silicon-burning produces
elements from P to Ni. The relative abundances of elements produced in both processes are similar to the observed solar values, which supports the view that supernova explosions are a major
source of enrichment of the interstellar medium in heavy elements. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
