Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) Nucleosynthetic Yield Tools

Calculate IMF-averaged yields and modify yield settings for use in simulations. This package provides tables from the following nucleosynthetic yield studies:

  • Seitenzahl et al. (2013) [1]

  • Iwamoto et al. (1999) [2]

  • Gronow et al. (2021a, b) [3] [4]

Contents

fractional<function>

Calculate an IMF-averaged yield for a given element.

single<function>

Look up the mass yield of a given element from a single type Ia supernova from a specified study.

settingsdataframe

Stores current settings for these yields.

gronow21yield preset

Sets the yields according to one of the models published in the Gronow et al. (2021a, b) studies.

seitenzahl13yield preset

Sets the yields according to one of the models published in the Seitenzahl et al. (2013) study.

iwamoto99yield preset

Sets the yields according to one of the models published in the Iwamoto et al. (1999) study.

New in version 1.3.0: The “gronow21” yield model was introduced in version 1.3.0.

Notes

The data stored in this module are reported for each corresponding study as published. The Seitenzahl et al. (2013) and Gronow et al. (2021a, b) models reported mass yields after complete decay of all radioactive nuclides with half-lives less than 2 Gyr, and the Iwamoto et al. (1999) study fully decayed all unstable isotopes; any additional treatment for radioactive isotopes is thus unnecessary.
