Figure 6 The upper panel shows the development of the isotopic abundances of 'H and +He (dotted lines), '7C and '°O (dashed lines), and “N, '80, Ne, and Mg during the hydrogen and helium burning phase burning phase of aM=15 Mo star (see Fig. 1). The lower panel shows the rapid depletion of 4N into '8O and subsequently into 77Ne during the contraction phase of the core of the main sequence star and the ignition of helium burning.
