Abstract

The impact of nuclear physics uncertaintites on the abundances predicted to emerge from the cold CNO, NeNa and MgAl modes of hydrostatic hydrogen burning is discussed in the framework of a simple parametric model. In addition of being able to mimic qualitatively detailed stellar model predictions, these parametric calculations have the virtue of isolating in a crystal-clear way abundance uncertainties of purely nuclear physics origin.
