Diverse, massive-star-associated sources for elements heavier than Fe and the roles of neutrinos

Understand

Massive-star-associated models for production of elements heavier than Fe are reviewed.

• The important roles of neutrinos in many of these models are discussed along with uncertainties in the relevant neutrino physics.
• Data on elemental abundances in metal-poor stars are presented and their constraints on diverse sources for elements heavier than Fe are emphasized.
