Originally published in 1982, this collection of essays provides an
integrated overview of the application of nuclear science to
astronomy. The book discusses, among other topics, the abundances
of the nuclear and chemical species on the Earth and the Moon, in
meteorites, in the stars, and in interstellar space. The hypothesis
that these species are produced by nuclear reactions is then
explored and related to laboratory measurements. Other subjects
include the dynamics of supernovae and interdisciplinary
relationships between elementary particle physics and cosmology.
The essays are dedicated to Professor William A. Fowler and pay
tribute to his vast influence on the field.
