Stellar Nucleosynthesis

Stellar Nucleosynthesis is an astrophysical process of nucleosynthesis in which chemical elements are formed and transmuted through nuclear fusion and associated nuclear reactions in the interiors and explosive endpoints of stars, thereby producing most elements heavier than those created in Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
