Description:
This paper considers some of the astrophysical consequences of recent cosmic-ray isotope measurements in the charge range between 4 and 26 for energies of 200 to 600 MeV/amu. Using a simple exponential path-length propagation model, the isotopic and chemical compositions are extrapolated observed back to the cosmic-ray source. With the possible exception of neon, all the results are consistent with the current understanding of cosmic-ray propagation and source composition. Some implications of the isotopic data as to the nature of the source are discussed.
