The accretion of matter onto stars formed by carbon-oxygen cores triggers hydrogen flicker. The development of hydrogen flicker and the shock generation associated therewith are discussed. If the matter thus ejected is halted by a dense gas surrounding a star, a corona of high temperature is formed. This may take place in dense planetary nebulae and is regarded as an origin of starlike X-ray sources. More violent hydrogen flicker takes place at white dwarfs and may be an origin of novae. Nuclear-reaction products ejected are positron sources and they may provide MeV positrons as strong as 10-3 cm-2 sec-1 sr-1. Nuclides produced by hydrogen flicker and a part of the carbon-oxygen core ejected may contribute to galactic cosmic rays; their chemical composition is like that observed in cosmic rays.
