Helium has a larger atomic weight than hydrogen and exerts a stronger gravitational pull on the core. b. Convection in the outer layers carries energy out of the core more efficiently as the star ages c ...

Photons further out on the tail have enough energy (~8 MeV) to begin to rip nuclei apart. The process does not go to completion but about 10% helium by mass is “boiled” out of the iron and ...
