Deinzer, W., and E.E. Salpeter, 1965: Models for carbon-burning stars. Astrophys. J., 142, 813-823, doi:10.1086/148355.
Equilibrium models are constructed for homogeneous stars containing only C12 and heavier elements. An "initial carbon-burning main sequence" is found both with and without neutrino energy loss mechanisms The neutrinos raise the central temperature Tc about 25 per cent, decrease the lifetime by a factor of more than 100, increase the extent of the convective core, decrease the optical luminosity slightly, and raise the minimum mass for carbon burning from 07 M☉ to about 08 M☉. For gravitationally contracting stars, neutrino processes become important when Tc exceeds 0.3 or 0.5×109°K; they lower the temperature gradient (or even reverse its sign) in the deep interior and the contraction is not homologous.
