Most stars that are around today are made of old material from dead stars. Those old stars produced oxygen as a product once they started fusing helium and heavier elements. Some old stars are currently producing oxygen through nuclear fusion.

What stars have oxygen in them?
Most, if not all stars have some oxygen in them, but most only contain it in small concentrations.
Which element makes up stars?
nitrogen helium oxygen and gas
What are the gases burned by stars?
Stars fuse hydrogen into helium during the main sequence. After the main sequence, helium, oxygen, silicon and carbon are fused.
Do different types of stars burn different fuel?
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
How the elements beryllium carbon and oxygen produces stars such as the sun?
It is not specifically those elements which "produce stars". Whatever elements happen to be around clump together, through gravity, and form the star.
What stars have oxygen in them?

Where did oxygen come from?
Oxygen was created by fusion in the cores of stars and distributed through the universe when those stars exploded.
Where oxygen come from?

When was oxygen made?
Oxygen is made all the time in the cores of stars.
Why can the nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron can be found in stars?
Because they are all made inside of stars.
How are nitrogen oxygen and argon formed?
Nitrogen and oxygen are formed primarily by thermonuclear fusion in stars. Argon is formed by radioactive decay of potassium - which is also formed in stars.
How do stars twinkle in the absence of oxygen?
They twinkle due to air, not specifically oxygen. If there is no air, they won't twinkle.
Which element makes up stars?
nitrogen helium oxygen and gas
What does carbon plus copper plus oxygen make?
I know that carbon plus oxygen equals iron and iron is what kills stars...
How could the sun be burning if there is no air in space?
The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. from the answer on the top.. the sun does not burn oxygen... is eats up the oxygen and make carbon dioxide.
Where were the elements carbon oxygen and iron formed?
The elements carbon, oxygen, and iron were formed in the interiors of stars that have since dies and exploded, spreading their contents through dust clouds that later formed other stars and solar systems.
How do stars get their heats?
Nuclear reaction by the super heated hydrogen, oxygen and other elements.
