Abstract
The nucleosynthesis in the universe is probed by observations of evolved stars and explosive events such as novae and supernovae that are yielding elements. The nucleosynthesis processes are also examined by chemical abundances of very metal-poor stars and binary component that record yields provided by individual processes. Observations of stars in different populations of the Milky Way Galaxy and surrounding dwarf galaxies provide different kinds of constraints on the understanding of a variety of nucleosynthesis processes through the history of the universe. This chapter also provides a brief overview of the observational technique to determine chemical abundances of stars.
