The Composition of Stars: A Journey Through Their Life CycleOnline version

Explore the fascinating life cycle of stars and their elemental compositions.

by Eric D Norman
1

Introduction to Stars

Stars are massive celestial bodies composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They generate energy through nuclear fusion, which occurs in their cores. Understanding the composition of stars is crucial for studying the universe.

2

Main Sequence Stars

Once nuclear fusion begins, stars enter the main sequence phase, where they spend most of their lives. Key characteristics include:

  • Stable fusion of hydrogen into helium (Hydrogen Fusion)
  • Leads to emission of light and heat


Examples include our Sun and other similar stars.

3

Red Giants and Supergiants

As stars exhaust their hydrogen fuel, they expand into red giants or supergiants. This phase involves:

  • Helium fusion into heavier elements
  • Significant increase in size
  • Possible formation of planetary nebulae or supernovae

The composition shifts to include elements like carbon and oxygen.

4

Stellar Nucleosynthesis

During their life cycles, stars create new elements through nucleosynthesis. Key processes include:

  • Hydrogen fusion (main sequence)
  • Helium fusion (red giant phase)
  • Massive stars lead to supernova nucleosynthesis (production of heavier elements)
  • Heaveir elements such as uranium, plutonium, gold, silver, tin, etc.


This process enriches the universe with heavier elements.
