Abstract
A phenomenological description is given of the processes which lead to the emission of energetic heavy fragments from cosmic-ray stars. The energy spectra, angular distribution, and relative frequency of the particles have been determined, and a detailed comparison is made with the predictions from nuclear evaporation theory. A simple method for charge determination of the fragments is described.Keywords
