Strange Xenon, Extinct Superheavy Elements, and the Solar Neutrino Puzzle

On the Cosmic Nuclear Cycle and the Similarity of Nuclei and Stars

“…the suggestion in the mid-1970s that the Sun formed on the collapsed core of the supernova (SN) that gave birth to the solar system [20][21], as shown in Fig. 1; b.) the finding that the Sun is ironrich [6] like the terrestrial planets and contains proportionately less 136 Xe and other r-products than the material that formed the giant Jovian planets from elements in the outer SN layers [22]; -3 -c.) the evidence against oscillations of solar neutrinos [23]; d.) Mozina's conclusion [16] of solar stratification and high levels of electrical and magnetic activity in the Sun's iron-rich stratified layers, e.) the suggestion that superfluidity of material in the interior of the Sun causes solar eruptions and climate changes [24], and f.) Birkeland's finding [25] at the start of the 20 th century that many solar features resemble traits observed in the laboratory on magnetized metal spheres, including the link of the aurora borealis to solar magnetic activity.…”

“…Other measurements [7][8][9] independently confirmed that the Sun selectively moves lighter ions into the photosphere, over the mass range of A = 25-207 amu [8], leaving little doubt that the interior of the Sun is iron-rich [6] like the material that formed iron meteorites and iron cores of rocky planets at the birth of the solar system [20][21]. Iron is however made of tightly packed nucleons [2] and is therefore an unlikely source of nuclear energy.…”

“…1. A scenario proposed in the mid-1970s to explain the unexpected link observed between specific isotopes of heavy elements with light element abundances in meteorites at the birth of the solar system [20][21]. According to this view, the Sun is iron-rich and formed on the collapsed core of a supernova (SN), material near the SN core formed iron cores of the planets near the Sun, and light elements from the outer SN layers formed the giant Jovian planets.…”

Terrestrial-type xenon in sulfides of the Allende meteorite.

“…Nucleogenetic isotopic anomalies were also found in different elements of Allende and other mete orites (e.g., reviews by Begemann, 1980Begemann, , 1993Lavrukhina, 1980;Clayton, 1981;Lee, 1988). The nucleosynthesis hypothesis for Xe-X was finally adopted (Lewis et al, 1983a(Lewis et al, , 1983bLugmair et al, 1983;Swart, 1983), but not the suggestion of local element synthesis (Manuel and Sabu, 1975, 1977, 1981Lavrukhina, 1980) and formation of the solar system from a single supernova.…”

Elemental and isotopic heterogeneities of rare gases in the solar system.

“…Manuel and co-workers (Manuel, 1987a, b, resulting from the fact that it formed directly Manuel and Sabu, 1975, 1977, from the heterogeneous debris of a single 1981; Manuel, 1976, 1980;Ballad et supernova. It seems to us that their conclusion, al., 1978, 1979 have reported the occurrence of based on a limited number of experimental data large-scale elemental and isotopic heter and an ovely-simplified model, is grossly in ogeneities of rare gases within the solar system error.…”
