TL;DR: In this article, the r-process model of heavy element nucleosynthesis was re-examined in order to investigate the possibility that super-heavy elements near the predicted doubly magic nucleus 298 114 may have been produced during stellar synthesis.

TL;DR: The nucleosynthesis theory of the origin of the elements, commonly called nucleo-ynthesis, is the attempt to interpret the abundances of nuclear species in terms of their nuclear properties and the naturally occurring circumstances in which the nuclei would be assembled as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: THE NUCLEAR THEORY of the origin of the elements, commonly called nucleosynthesis, is the attempt to interpret the abundances of nuclear species in terms of their nuclear properties and the naturally occurring circumstances in which the nuclei would be assembled. We have a very sizable body of data to guide the construction of the theory and to test its success. There are 81 stable elements, with numbers of stable isotopes ranging from one for sodium, for example, to ten for tin; they comprise a total of 280 stable nuclear species. The abundances of these species in the solar system constitute 280 data points for the theory, to which must be added all observable abundance ratios in other stars.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the formation of stars from material of the interstellar medium with a given composition: X, the fraction of hydrogen, Y (the fraction of helium), Z (the sum of the heavy elements, which can be splitted in Z1, Z2, Z3,... representing these heavy elements).
