The strong presence of reviews reflects how the field is normally used in practice. Stellar nucleosynthesis is built on primary quantitative papers, but the working synthesis often comes from major reviews in Reviews of Modern Physics, Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Reports on Progress in Physics, and comparable venues. Textbooks provide the structural backbone: stellar structure and evolution, nuclear astrophysics, explosive nucleosynthesis, and Galactic chemical evolution. The main nuclear-data infrastructure cited here includes AME2020 [Wang et al. 2021] , NNDC [Brookhaven National Laboratory] , NACRE-II [Xu et al. 2013] , JINA REACLIB [Cyburt et al. 2010] , and KADoNiS [Karlsruhe Institute of Technology] .

Core references by area

For Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the main modern references are Cyburt, Fields, Olive, and Yeh [Cyburt et al. 2016] , Fields, Olive, Yeh, and Young [Fields et al. 2020] , Pitrou et al. [Pitrou et al. 2018] , and Pisanti et al. [Pisanti et al. 2021] . The cosmological background is anchored to Planck Collaboration results [Collaboration 2020] .

For basic nuclear physics and quiescent stellar burning, Iliadis [Iliadis 2015] is the main textbook reference. Adelberger et al. [Adelberger et al. 2011] summarize pp-chain solar fusion inputs; Salpeter [Salpeter 1952] provides the sequential triple-alpha framework; deBoer et al. [deBoer et al. 2017] review 12C(α,γ)16O^{12}\mathrm{C}(\alpha,\gamma)^{16}\mathrm{O}; SNO [Ahmad et al. 2002] and Borexino [Collaboration 2020] [Collaboration 2022] provide key solar-neutrino constraints; Takahashi and Yokoi [Takahashi & Yokoi 1987] and Langanke and Martínez-Pinedo [Langanke & Martínez-Pinedo 2003] cover stellar weak rates; Azuma et al. [Azuma et al. 2010] covers R-matrix tooling; Broggini et al. [Broggini et al. 2010] covers LUNA; FRIB [U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science] and FAIR [FAIR GmbH] document current rare-isotope infrastructure; Longland et al. [Longland et al. 2010] and Lippuner and Roberts [Lippuner & Roberts 2017] cover uncertainty propagation and network tooling. Grefenstette et al. [Grefenstette et al. 2014] and Boggs et al. [Boggs et al. 2015] are used for 44Ti^{44}\mathrm{Ti} as an observational tracer. Wallerstein et al. [Wallerstein et al. 1997] provide a historical and physical synthesis of stellar abundance production.

For the s process and AGB nucleosynthesis, the central review is Kaeppeler, Gallino, Bisterzo, and Aoki [Käppeler et al. 2011] . Busso, Gallino, and Wasserburg [Busso et al. 1999] define the classic AGB framework, while Karakas and Lattanzio [Karakas & Lattanzio 2014] and Cristallo et al. [Cristallo et al. 2015] provide modern yield grids. Bisterzo et al. [Bisterzo et al. 2014] and Lugaro et al. [Lugaro et al. 2003] are useful for solar calibration and branching-point constraints.

For the r process and neutron-star mergers, Cowan et al. [Cowan et al. 2021] give the post-GW170817 review framework. Thielemann et al. [Thielemann et al. 2017] cover merger nucleosynthesis, Kasen et al. [Kasen et al. 2017] model kilonova emission, LIGO/Virgo [Collaboration & Collaboration 2017] provides the discovery event, and Cote et al. [Côté et al. 2018] frames the chemical-evolution debate on r-process sites.

For the p process, the main references are Rauscher et al. [Rauscher et al. 2013] and Arnould and Goriely [Arnould & Goriely 2003] . Woosley et al. [Woosley et al. 2002] and Pignatari et al. [Pignatari et al. 2010] are used for massive-star and explosive-yield context.

For supernovae, Nomoto, Kobayashi, and Tominaga [Nomoto et al. 2013] provide a broad review; Woosley and Heger [Woosley et al. 2002] , Sukhbold et al. [Sukhbold et al. 2016] , and Limongi and Chieffi [Limongi & Chieffi 2018] are central for massive-star yields and explosion outcomes.

For stellar evolution, Kippenhahn, Weigert, and Weiss [Kippenhahn et al. 2012] supply the textbook foundation, while Herwig [Herwig 2005] is a key reference for AGB modeling, overshooting, and one-dimensional mixing prescriptions.

For cosmic abundances and the solar composition, Asplund, Amarsi, Grevesse, and Scott [Asplund et al. 2021] provide the modern photospheric reference, Lodders [Lodders 2020] the meteoritic compilation, and Grevesse et al. [Grevesse et al. 2010] a historical benchmark. Bahcall, Serenelli, and Basu [Bahcall et al. 2005] , SNO [Ahmad et al. 2002] , and Borexino results [Collaboration 2020] [Collaboration 2022] connect abundance work to solar neutrino physics.

For Galactic chemical evolution, Matteucci [Matteucci 2021] and Pagel [Pagel 2009] are the main textbook references. Kobayashi, Karakas, and Lugaro [Kobayashi et al. 2020] provide integrated yield and chemical-evolution context.

For lithium, beryllium, and boron, Reeves, Fowler, and Hoyle [Reeves et al. 1970] introduce the spallation framework, Ramaty et al. [Ramaty et al. 1997] develop the cosmic-ray interpretation, and Prantzos [Prantzos 2012] provides a modern synthesis.

For novae and X-ray bursts, Jose and Hernanz [José & Hernanz 2007] review classical novae, Schatz and Rehm [Schatz & Rehm 2006] review X-ray bursts and the rp process, and Denissenkov et al. [Denissenkov et al. 2014] address nova modeling and mixing.

For presolar grains, Zinner [Zinner 2014] is the classic methodological review, Nittler and Ciesla [Nittler & Ciesla 2016] provide an updated synthesis, and Hoppe et al. [Hoppe et al. 2017] cover nova- and supernova-type grains.

Historical foundations

The historical backbone begins with Eddington [Eddington 1920] , who argued that stellar energy must come from subatomic transformations, and Bethe [Bethe 1939] , who made hydrogen burning quantitative through the pp chain and CNO cycle. Salpeter [Salpeter 1952] formulated the sequential triple-alpha route through 8Be^{8}\mathrm{Be}; Hoyle [Hoyle 1954] predicted the carbon-12 resonance needed for efficient carbon synthesis, and Cook, Fowler, Lauritsen and Lauritsen [Cook et al. 1957] confirmed the corresponding state experimentally. Merrill [Merrill 1952] detected technetium in giant-star spectra, proving that heavy-element nucleosynthesis was active inside stars rather than only primordial.

The decisive synthesis came in 1957. Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle [Burbidge et al. 1957] organized the field into the process language still used today: hydrogen burning, helium burning, alpha captures, equilibrium processes, s process, r process, p process, and related channels. Cameron [Cameron 1957] independently developed much of the same framework. These works turned nucleosynthesis from a collection of mechanisms into a coherent discipline.
