Scientific paper

We show that ejecta from the envelope of one asymptotic giant branch star of M is approximately 3 solar mass may account for many of the short-lived nuclei in the early solar system and also for the recent evidence of the presence of Ca-41 (bar-tau41 = 1.50 x 105 yr) in early solar nebular condensates. This would require that the injection into the protosolar molecular cloud took place within a narrow time interval of (5-7) x 105 yr before the formation of the solar system. If true, this places extremely tight constraints on the whole process of injection mixing and collapse. The timescales for both Ca-41 and Al-26 require that the placental medium be a dense molecular cloud (2 x 103 -8 x 103( H/cc. If the observed residual Ca-41 is instead produced by a proton bombardment mechanism within the early solar system, similar to what appears necessary to explain Mn-53, then the time interval is relaxed but would still be (1-2) x 106 yr from consideration of Al-26.
