Nomoto, Kobayashi & Tominaga (2013), ARA&A, 51, 457 core collapse supernova yields

Signature: from vice.yields.ccsne import NKT13

New in version 1.2.0.

Importing this module will automatically set the CCSN yield settings for all elements to the IMF-averaged yields calculated with the Nomoto, Kobayashi & Tominaga (2013) yield table for [M/H] = 0.15 stars. This will adopt an upper mass limit of 40 \(M_\odot\).

We provide core collapse supernova yields for non-rotating progenitors as reported Nomoto, Kobayashi & Tominaga (2013) at metallicities relative to solar of \(\log_{10}(Z / Z_\odot)\) =

  • -inf

  • -1.15

  • -0.54

  • -0.24

  • 0.15

  • 0.55

assuming \(Z_\odot\) = 0.014 according to Asplund et al. (2009) [1].

Tip

By importing this module, the user does not sacrifice the ability to specify their yield settings directly.

Note

This module is not imported with a simple import vice statement.

Note

When this module is imported, the yields will be updated with a maximum of 10^5 bins in quadrature to decrease computational overhead. For some elements, the yield calculation may not converge. To rerun the yield calculation with higher numerical precision, simply call set_params with a new value for the keyword Nmax (see below).
