Too much thermonuclear waste...
Insert rant here about theoretical papers which make predictions about 12C/14N ratios and isotopic ratios only but don't actually give you firm numbers you can test things against or use the not quite right case to illustrate, meaning you can't quite just plug the numbers in and play from there.
Insert loud swearing and abuse of the authors involved... except for one, whose thesis I am working off and I have met and think is quite a reasonable person... appart from the bits she left out of her thesis...
Insert minor headbutting of screen and watch astronomer chasing references with an electronic butterfly net. Coaxing them out of corners with inducements of citations and assaulting their graphs for what is needed.
Insert more swearing.
All I ask is for elemental CNO abundances, following second dredge up but prior to onset helium flashes and any hot bottom burning from third dredge up, for initial LMC starting abundances with a 5 solar mass model.
And if you are lucky, you will manage to remain confused by the above statement.
Though I can attempt to explain if you want.
Butterfly time again I think.
