Scientific paper

It is shown that consistent predictions of baryonic densities can be made only for some specific galactic-evolution models involving D and He-3: either the infall of already processed material such that D/Dp = 1/15 (where Dp is the primordial abundance of D and D is the present value) or the effect of stellar mass loss releasing D free He-3 rich material (amounting to 20 percent of the total mass of the star) during the pre-main sequence phase of the stellar evolution. This latter hypothesis can explain the observations of Rood et al. (1984) of large He-3 abundances at large galactocentric distances. Consideration is also given to other sources of uncertainties concerning the relation between predictions of standard big-bang nucleosynthesis and observations of rates of nuclear reactions producing and destroying Li-7.
