Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) Star Nucleosynthetic Yield Tools

Analyze built-in yield tables and modify yield settings for use in simulations. This package provides tables from the following nucleosynthetic yield studies:

  • Cristallo et al. (2011) [1]

  • Karakas (2010) [2]

  • Ventura et al. (2013, 2014, 2018, 2020) [3] [4] [5] [6]

  • Karakas & Lugaro (2016) [7], Karakas et al. (2018) [8]

Contents

grid<function>

Return the stellar mass-metallicity grid of fractional nucleosynthetic yields for given element and study

interpolatorobject

Linearly interpolates on the stellar mass-metallicity grid of yields for use in the global yield settings.

settingsdataframe

Stores current settings for these yields

cristallo11yield preset

Sets the yields according to the Cristallo et al. (2011, 2015) studies.

karakas10yield preset

Sets the yields according to the Karakas (2010) study.

ventura13yield preset

Sets the yields according to the Ventura et al. (2013, 2014, 2018, 2020) studies.

karakas16yield preset

Sets the yields according to the Karakas & Lugaro (2016), Karakas et al. (2018) studies.

New in version 1.3.0: The “ventura13” and “karakas16” yield models were introduced in version 1.3.0.

Notes

The data stored in this module are reported for each corresponding study as published. With the exception of converting the values to fractional yields (i.e. by dividing by progenitor initial mass), they were not modified in any way.
