  1. Astrophysical origin of the solar Zinc Marco Pignatari Roberto Gallino

  2. Isotopic composition of solar Zn: Zn64 = 48.6 % Zn(sun) Zn66 = 27.9 % Zn(sun) Zn67 = 4.1 % Zn(sun) Zn68 = 18.8 % Zn(sun) Zn70 = 0.6 % Zn(sun) 64Zn = 48.6 % Zn(sun) 66Zn = 27.9 % Zn(sun) 67Zn = 4.1 % Zn(sun) 68Zn = 18.8 % Zn(sun) 70Zn = 0.6 % Zn(sun)

  3. Theoretical prediction for evolution of [Zn/Fe] vs [Fe/H] in the galaxy Timmes Woosley & Weaver 1995 [Zn/Fe] = log(Zn/Fe) – log(Zn/Fe)sun [Fe/H] = log(Fe/H) – log(Fe/H)sun

  4. Trend of [Zn/Fe] vs [Fe/H] in the galaxy for unevolved stars SNIa contribution Primary like Secondary like [Zn/Fe] = log(Zn/Fe) – log(Zn/Fe)sun [Fe/H] = log(Fe/H) – log(Fe/H)sun

  5. Astrophysical origin of Zn: • 1. AGB stars? • 2. SNIa? • 3. SNII?

  6. 1. Contribution by AGB stars (main s-component)(Travaglio et al. 1999)

  8. 2. Contribution from SNIa ~ 5 %as 64Zn (64Ge, 64Ga) 64Zn is produced by SNIa as much as 0.2 Fe L. Piersanti (priv. comm.) Assuming that 2/3-1/2 Fe(sun) has been produced in SNIa… Zn(SNIa) ~ 6-5 % Zn(sun) 64Zn(sun) = 48.6 % Zn(sun)

  9. 3. Contribution from SNII to solar Zn Primary like Secondary like α-process, ν-wind s-process, Weak sr(p)-process

  10. Primary contribution [Zn/Fe] ~ 0.05

  11. Spectroscopic observations from Halo and Intermediate stars (very metal poor stars not included) (Sneden et al. 1991, Mishenina et al. 2002) [Zn/Fe] ~ 0.05 Zn(pr.) ~ 40-56 % Zn(sun) SNII produced 1/3-1/2 of Fe(sun) Assuming that all primary-like Zn component has been produced by SNII

  12. Primary-like Zn isotopes: • 64Zn: Primary-like isotope. It’s produced by α-rich freezout and ν-wind in the deepest layers (WW95, Woosley et al. 1994, Woosley & Hoffman 1996). • 66Zn: Its primary-like component has been produced by α-rich freezout and ν-wind in the deepest layers ( Woosley & Hoffman 1992).

  13. Post-Supernova composition (yields) 70Zn overproduced*2 M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  14. Pre-Supernova and Post-Supernova composition 66Zn Convective shell C-burning 64Zn He-burning M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  15. Post-Supernova composition (26000 s) Unstable isotopes contribution 64Zn M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  16. Post-Supernova composition (26000 s) Unstable isotopes contribution 66Zn M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  17. Principal isotopes (pre-supernova): M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  18. Pre-Supernova and Post-Supernova composition 66Zn 64Zn M=15 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  19. Secondary-like component to Zn isotopes: • 64Zn: Its secondary-like component is produced by both preSN He-burning (WW95) and C-burning weak sr(p)-process. It is negligible respect to the primary-like component. • 66Zn: Its secondary-like component is produced by both preSN He-burning and C-burning weak sr(p)-process. Uncertain relative weight of the two components.

  20. 67Zn: Secondary-like isotope. It’s produced by both preSN C-burning (~ 70 %) and He-burning (~ 30 %). • 68Zn: Secondary-like isotope. Similar to 67Zn + small postSN contribution at the r-peak. • 70Zn: Strongly produced by SNII, in particular by postSN He-burning and in the r-peak region (see production factors in WW95).

  21. Pre-Supernova and Post-Supernova composition 67Zn 68Zn 70Zn M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  22. Post-Supernova composition (26000 s) Unstable isotopes contribution 67Zn M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  23. Post-Supernova composition (26000 s) Unstable isotopes contribution 68Zn M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  26. Post-Supernova production factor M=25 Msun, Z=Zsun (Nucl. Data Page, A. Heger)

  27. Total secondary-like contribution to the solar Zn by SNII: 2/3-1/1 66Zn(sun) 67Zn(sun) 68Zn(sun) ~ 40÷50 % Zn(sun)

  28. SNII Primary-like contribution to solar Zn ~ 40-56 % Secondary-like contribution to solar Zn ~ 40-50 % SNII produced the main part of solar Zn (80-100 %)

  29. Conclusions • SNII produced the main part of solar Zinc, the remnant is produced by SNIa (as 64Zn) and AGB stars. • SNII contribution is divided in two component: the first one is primary-like (as 64Zn and 66Zn), produced by α-process and ν-wind, the second one is secondary-like (as 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn) produced by weak sr(p)-process. • 70Zn is strongly produced by SNII. It has a strong explosive component and secondary-like production factors (ww95).
