The role of Type I and Type II supernovae in nucleosynthesis is treated in some detail. Type II supernovae explode via core implosion of non‑degenerate material, while Type I supernovae result from ignition of degenerate nuclear fuel. It is concluded that e‑process formation of the iron‑group elements occurs in Type II supernovae, whereas r‑process formation of neutron‑rich heavy‑element isotopes occurs in Type I supernovae. Authors Hoyle and Fowler published the paper in The Astrophysical Journal in November 1960 (DOI 10.1086/146963).

Abstract The role of Type I and Type II supernovae in nucleosynthesis is treated in some detail. It is concluded that e-process formation of the iron-group elements takes place in Type II supernovae, while r-process formation of the neutron-rich isotopes of the heavy elements takes place in Type I supernovae. The explosion of Type II supernovae is shown to follow implosion of the non-degenerate core material. The explosion of Type I supernovae results from the ignition of degenerate nuclear fuel in stellar material.
