First - fix your question, is it "how does carbon get into a remnant" or "how does carbon get into the interstellar medium". You might try to fix the mistakes in the question too. Then actually read the linked question. It explains how carbon in formed and not completely used up in stars of various sizes, and then how some of that carbon can migrate to the ISM. If it doesn't answer your question, then explain very carefully what you don't understand. I think that question has an answer that is very clear. | |

| Apr 17, 2023 at 22:02 | comment | added | James K | The linked question answers most of your doubts. There are a couple of additional points. Carbon doesn't fuse with carbon to produce oxygen. If the temperature is high enough carbon can fuse with helium to produce oxygen, but that only occurs in larger stars, and even in those stars, there would be a shell of carbon outside the core. So there is carbon in the core, and dredged up by convection to the outer parts of the star from where it can get into space, and see the linked answer for more details. | |
