Notes. The second column shows the source from which the reaction rates were taken, the third column shows the full reaction chains, and the fourth column shows the abbreviated reaction set used. The abbreviated reaction chains account for all the energy generation whilst minimising computational cost. C-burning in the version of the code we are using considers the ‘no-sodium approximation’, according to which only the reaction 12C(12C,α)20Ne is taken into account. For a more realistic treatment of C-burning, see Doherty et al. (2010). 20Ne resulting from this process is included in Zother. CF88 and Ang99 refer to Caughlan & Fowler (1988) and Angulo et al. (1999), respectively.
