Hydrogen burning process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the context of stellar nucleosynthesis, a hydrogen burning process can refer to either the proton-proton chain reactions dominant in main sequence stars lighter than at most 5 solar masses, or to the CNO cycle dominant in heavier stars. Both processes produces stellar energy by burning hydrogen to helium.
