Abstract

A table is presented giving the calculated contributions to the abundances of the heavy elements (A ≧ 63) from the two major mechanisms of heavy element stellar nucleosynthesis, the r- and s-processes. The isotopes of the elements are tabulated individually because of the variation among isotopes of the relative importance of the two mechanisms. The table facilitates a quick comparison between prediction based on stellar nucleosynthesis and observed nuclidic abundances.
