Extract

A large part of the energy lost from interiors of evolving stars at temperatures greater than about 5 × 108°K is carried away by neutrinos. Three neutrino-producing reactions which have been incorporated in various evolutionary models are the photoneutrino process:

direct annihilation of electron-positron pairs:

and the plasma process:
