Nucleosynthesis of Fe60 in massive stars

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

We discuss at some extent the production of Fe60 in massive stars in the range between 11 and 120 Msun both in the hydrostatic and explosive stages. We also compare the Fe60/Al26 gamma-ray line flux ratio obtained according to the present calculations to the detected value reported by INTEGRAL/SPI.
