Core Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) 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:

  • Limongi & Chieffi (2018) 1

  • Sukhbold et al. (2016) 2

  • Chieffi & Limongi (2013) 3

  • Nomoto, Kobayashi & Tominaga (2013) 4

  • Chieffi & Limongi (2004) 5

  • Woosley & Weaver (1995) 6

Contents

Notes

The yield tables built into this module reflect a post-processing treatment for two radioactive nuclides. For the Limongi & Chieffi (2018), Sukhbold et al. (2016), and Chieffi & Limongi (2013) tables, we add the nickel-56 yield to the iron yields and the aluminum-26 yield to the magnesium yields. We also add the aluminum-26 yield to the magnesium yields for the Woosley & Weaver (1995) study. Otherwise, the data are included as published. The Chieffi & Limongi (2013) and Nomoto, Kobayashi & Tominaga (2013) yields report yields after radioactive isotopes have been decayed, so no further treatment is necessary.
