Scientific paper

Published measurement data on the production C-13 during interstellar propagation of cosmic rays (Webber et al., 1987; Guzik et al., 1985) are combined with observational data to determine the relative abundance of C-13 in the cosmic-ray source. The theoretical basis and implementation of the calculations are described in detail, and the results are presented in graphs. (C-13)/(C-12) is estimated as 0.003 + or - 0.005, consistent with the solar ratio (0.011), not consistent with the local abundance ratio (0.023), and in agreement with the source ratio predicted by Prantzos et al. (1985) using the isotopic abundances of WR-star ejecta.
