The oxygen-burning process is a stage in the life cycle of massive stars, occurring after the helium-burning phase. This process primarily involves the fusion of oxygen nuclei into heavier elements. Oxygen-burning takes place at extremely high temperatures, typically around 1 billion Kelvin, and occurs in the cores of stars with masses greater than about 8 times that of the Sun, usually during the later stages of stellar evolution.
