Thermonuclear processes in Stars

This book is the added and revised publication of the previous author’s book “Thermonuclear processes of the Universe” New-York NOVA Sci. Publ. 2012 194p. The first chapter contains the review of thermonuclear processes in the Sun and stars. The second is devoted to the description of the using model and basic calculation methods of some characteristics for bound states and continuum of nuclear particles. In the rest 13th chapters the radiative capture processes for the p2H p3H p6Li p7Li p9Be p10B p11B p12C p13C p14C p15N and also 2H4He 3H4He 3Hе4He 4He12C systems were considered at astrophysical energies. It was shown that using approach allows one to describe available experimental data comparatively well in this energy range. Besides it was shown that in some cases for certain nuclear systems it was possible to predict the behavior of the S-factor at energies lower than 100–200 keV because these calculations were published in 1995 and new experimental data were appeared only in 1997-2002 years.
