Nucleosynthesis in Type Ii Supernovae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presupernova evolution and explosive nucleosynthesis in massive stars for main-sequence masses from 13 M ⊙ to 70 M ⊙ are calculated. We examine the dependence of the super-nova yields on the stellar mass, 12 C(α, γ) 16 O rate, and explosion energy. The supernova yields integrated over the initial mass function are compared with the solar abundances.

Nucleosynthesis in early supernova winds III: No significant contribution from neutron-rich pockets
Recent nucleosynthesis calculations of Type II supernovae using advanced neutrino transport determine that the early neutrino winds are proton-rich. However, a fraction of the ejecta emitted at the same time is composed of neutron-rich pockets. In this paper we calculate the nucleosynthesis contribution from the neutron-rich pockets in the hot convective bubbles of a core-collapse supernova and...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in Type Ii Supernovae and the Abundances in Metal-poor Stars
We explore the effects on nucleosynthesis in Type II supernovae of various parameters (mass cut, neutron excess, explosion energy, progenitor mass) in order to explain the observed trends of the ironpeak element abundance ratios ([Cr/Fe], [Mn/Fe], [Co/Fe] and [Ni/Fe]) in halo stars as a function of metallicity for the range −4 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ −2.5. [Cr/Fe] and [Mn/Fe] decrease with decreasing [Fe/H]...
متن کاملPeculiar Chemical Abundances in the Starburst Galaxy M82 and Hypernova Nucleosynthesis
X-ray observations have shown that the chemical abundance in the starburst galaxy M82 is quite rich in Si and S compared with oxygen. Such an abundance pattern cannot be explained with any combination of conventional Type I and II supernova yields. Also the energy to heavy element mass ratio of the observed hot plasma is much higher than the value resulted from normal supernovae. We calculate e...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis of Zinc and Iron-Peak Elements in Pop III Type II Supernovae: Comparison with Abundances of Very Metal-Poor Halo Stars
We calculate nucleosynthesis in core-collapse explosions of massive Pop III stars, and compare the results with abundances of metal-poor halo stars to constrain the parameters of Pop III supernovae. We focus on iron-peak elements and, in particular, we try to reproduce the large [Zn/Fe] observed in extremely metal-poor stars. The interesting trends of the observed ratios [Zn, Co, Mn, Cr, V/Fe] ...
متن کاملSupernova Nucleosynthesis and Application to the Isotopic Ratios of Individual Presolar Grains
Introduction: Presolar grains found in primitive meteorites have large isotopic heterogeneities of orders of magnitude. Because of the large heterogeneities, presolar grains are thought to have traces of the nucleosynthesis before they were formed [1]. Silicon carbide (SiC), low density graphite, and silicon nitride are believed to be formed in the ejecta of type II supernovae [1,2]. Their isot...
