[edit] 2D

Isn't the 2 superscript on D redundant? It seems like consistency would be best, ideally any (non-1) superscripts on an H base, although the links could obviously continue to point towards the specific isotope's page. --Belg4mit 05:43, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Style

  • Why are the two equasions under "Alternatively" in a seperate diagram? Why is there no information about the energy released?
  • Can somebody add the required size of the star for oxygen burning to this page? (Similar to the Neon burning process page)

[edit] Solar Masses

This page doesn't seem to say how many solar masses a star typically needs to be for the oxygen burning process to initiate. I'm assuming it's comparable to Carbon Burning (4 MSun), but could anyone verify this? --Xanthine (talk) 10:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
