Limits on the C^(12)/C^(13)Ratio in Metal-Deficient Stars

Abstract

Lower limits for the ratio C^(12)/C^(13) have been determined for eight metal-deficient stars. These limits are inconsistent with the predictions of nearly all of the universal models considered by Wagoner, Fowler, and Hoyle (1967) unless at least one generation of massive, rapidly evolving stars existed before the formation of any of the program stars.
