Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galactic chemical evolution impacts multiple areas of research in astrophysics, from interpreting isotopic ratios of presolar grains to characterizing stellar populations in distant galaxies. Of particular interest are the light elements, from carbon to argon. While most [alpha] elements have been well measured and have well-known nucleosynthesis, the astrophysical production of the odd-Z elements is poorly understood. This dissertation focuses on the two odd-Z elements phosphorus and chlorine in order to understand their production in the universe.
