The 18 pages that link to Triple-alpha process, each with the reason it gives.

• Red giantRelated: This process powers the core after a low-mass red giant ignites helium.

• CarbonRelated: This process explains how stars produce much of the universe’s carbon.

• Horizontal branchRelated: It supplies most of the energy from helium burning in the core.

• Helium flashRelated: Its sharply temperature-sensitive rate drives the sudden energy release.

• Stellar coreRelated: It powers helium burning in evolved stellar cores.

• Carbon burningRelated: This process supplies much of the carbon that later ignites in massive stars.

• Edwin E. SalpeterRelated: Salpeter independently identified a resonance that makes this stellar carbon-production route viable.
