Abstract

Gamma-ray line emission is calculated for thermonuclear excitation of very high-temperature (10/sup 10/--10/sup 12/ K) ions which may exist in accreting matter around neutron stars and black holes. The 4.438 MeV line from /sup 12/C* de-excitation should be the easiest to observe in both the continuous and transient emission spectra of such sources.
