Article Description

The chemical composition of the shell of a neutron star (SNS) at high temperatures and densities is discussed in this paper. A model for nucleosynthesis is proposed based on the approximation of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE). The dependence of the results of the nucleosynthesis on the parameters of the medium in a static approximation is studied. The results of this paper are qualitatively similar to earlier work by other authors. It is shown that the proposed model provides a fair description of the abundance of nuclei even in the static approximation.
