Scientific paper

It is shown that, in hydrogen-burning main-sequence stars with a mass exceeding 1.5 solar masses, the Ne-22 (p, gamma) Na-23 reaction must lead to a substantial (more than five-fold) sodium enrichment of their cores. A correlation is found between the C-12/C-13 ratio and the overabundance of Na in the atmospheres of F-K supergiants with a lowered abundance of C.
