Figure 1: Changes in 12C, 13C, 14N, and 16O surface abundances with respect to the hydrogen surface abundance along the evolutionary tracks of non-rotating stars, as indicated by the grid points. The ratios were calculated from the data of Schaller et al. (1992) for solar metallicity. The approximate end of the core H burning and the onset of the core He burning phases are indicated by the two vertical dotted lines in each panel. |

Figure 2: Change of the 12C/13C surface abundance ratio during stellar evolution of non-rotating massive stars at solar metallicity. The ratios are calculated from the tables of Schaller et al. (1992). The dotted lines have the same meaning as in Fig. 1. |
