Abstract
We use a recent calculation of the mass-asymmetric fission barriers for heavy neutron-rich nuclei to estimate the heavy to light mass fragment ratio ( M H M L ) resulting from fission at the termination of the astrophysical r-process. The fragments due to mass-asymmetric fission at the termination of the r-process may account for the solar system abundance distribution of neutron-rich nuclei in the mass region 150 ⪅ A ⪅ 170.
