... White dwarfs have a thin atmosphere which is mostly either hydrogen or helium that slowly radiates into space and a dense core. If the progenitor star was low mass (less than .8 solar masses) the core will predominately be helium, a mid-sized star like the Sun (~.8-8) will have a carbon and oxygen ...

As the ejected material expands outwards, it encounters and intermingles with the interstellar medium and propels it outward, building up the outer shock wave. In a typi ...

P-nuclei
p-Nuclei (p stands for proton-rich) are certain proton-rich, naturally occurring isotopes of some elements between selenium and mercury which cannot be produced in either s- or r-process.
