9C (1959AJ76)(Not illustrated)
Comparison with the mass of 9Li leads to an estimated mass excess of 32.3 ± 2 MeV
(1955AJ61). Analysis of a single star attributed to
β-decay of 9C and subsequent breakup into p + 2α yields Q > 15.4 MeV, mass excess >
30.2 MeV (1956SW77). Stability against 8B + p
requires a mass excess < 32.9 MeV. Two reactions leading to 9C which have not been reported are
7Be(3He, n)9C (Qm = -7) and 12C(γ,
3n)9C (Qm = -54).
