| We have constructed a number of computational tools for understanding the formation of the chemical elements in stars and their abundance evolution history in the Galaxy. They are available at the website http://webnucleo.org. The Solar Abundances Tool allows an internet user to study the details of the element and isotopic abundances in our Solar System. The Nuclear Decay Tool allows an internet user to follow complicated beta decay chains and uses libnucnet, Clemson University's library for nuclear reaction networks. The 1-D Stellar Ejecta Tool allows an internet user to explore the ejecta from a stellar model. Finally, libchemev allows internet users to follow the evolution of the abundances of isotopes in the Galactic interstellar medium. Detailed tutorials demonstrate the proper use of these tools, which we expect to be of interest to students, to the general public, and to professional scientists. |
