Abstract
The study of the chemical composition of stars and galaxies is a key topic for understanding their origin and evolution. In this study, we present the results of the calculation of solar abundances of the isotopes 1H, 4He, 12C, 14N, 15O, 16O, 17O, and 18O during the four phases of the solar life: hydrogen burning, onset of rapid growth and red giant, helium burning and helium exhaustion. The open source package “NucNet Tools” from the Webnucleo Group in Clemson University, SC, USA was used for this purpose. The results for all isotopes are listed in tables for future use. Abundances found, globally, agree fairly well with those predicted in the literature. Results obtained for the last two phases have no equivalents elsewhere.
