  1. NUCLEOSYNTHESIS IN STELLAR EVOLUTION AND EXPLOSIONS: ABUNDANCE YIELDS FOR CHEMICAL EVOLUTION.

  2. Massive Stars, those massive enough to explode as supernovae, play a key role in many fields of astrophysics: Evolution of Galaxies: Light up regions of stellar birth  induce star formation Production of most of the elements (those necessary to life) Mixing (winds and radiation) of the ISM Production of neutron stars and black holes Cosmology (PopIII): Reionization of the Universe at z>5 Massive Remnants (Black Holes)  AGN progenitors Pregalactic Chemical Enrichment High Energy Astrophysics: Production of long-lived radioactive isotopes: (26Al, 56Co, 57Co, 44Ti, 60Fe) GRB progenitors The understanding of these stars, is crucial for the interpretation of many astrophysical objects

  3. Outline • Basic PreSN Evolutionary Properties of Massive Stars and Their Uncertainties • Explosive Nucleosynthesis and its uncertainties • Present Status of the presupernova and explosion modelling of Massive Stars • Comparison among available yields • Strategies for improvements

  6. Major Uncertainties in the computation of core H burning models: • Extension of the Convective Core (Overshooting, Semiconvection) • Mass Loss Both influence the size of the He core that drives the following evolution

  7. He burning The properties of core He burning mainly depend on the size of the He core M ≤ 35 M RSG M > 35 M BSG g g g 3a + 12C(a,g)16O g g g g g

  9. Major Uncertainties in the computation of core He burning models: • Extension of the Convective Core(Overshooting, Semiconvection) • Central 12C mass fraction(Treatment of Convection + 12C(a,g)16O cross section) • Mass Loss(determine which stars explode as RSG and which as BSG) • 22Ne(a,n)25Mg (main neutron source for s-process nucleosynthesis) All these uncertainties affect the size of the CO core that drives the following evolution

  10. Advanced burning stages n g g n n g g n n g g n n n g g Neutrino losses play a dominant role in the evolution of a massive star beyond core He burning At high temperature (T>109 K) neutrino emission from pair production start to become very efficient Evolutionary times reduce dramatically

  11. M < 30 M Explode as RSG M ≥ 30 M Explode as BSG After core He burning At Pre-SN stage

  12. Synthesis of Heavy Elements At high tempreatures a larger number of nuclear reactions are activated Heavy nuclei start to be produced C-burning Ne-burning

  13. Synthesis of Heavy Elements Weak Interactions become efficient O-burning Efficiency scales inversely with the mass

  18. Major Uncertainties in the computation of the advanced burning stages: • Treatment of Convection(interaction between mixing and local burning, stability criterion  behavior of convective shells  final M-R relation  explosive nucleosynthesis) • Computation of Nuclear Energy Generation (minimum size of nuclear network and coupling to physical equations, NSE/QSE approximations) • Weak Interactions(determine Ye hydrostatic and explosive nucleosynthesis  behavior of core collapse) • Nuclear Cross Sections(nucleosynthesis of all the heavy elements) • Partition Functions(NSE distribution) • Neutrino Losses

  24. Major Uncertainties in the simulation of the explosion (remnant mass – nucleosynyhesis): • Prompt vs Delayed Explosion (this may alter both the M-R relation and Ye of the presupernova model) • How to kick the blast wave: • Thermal Bomb – Kinetic Bomb – Piston • Mass Location where the energy is injected • How much energy to inject: • Thermal Bomb (Internal Energy) • Kinetic Bomb (Initial Velocity) • Piston (Initial velocity and trajectory) • How much kinetic energy at infinity (typically ~1051 erg) • Nuclear Cross Sections and Partition Functions

Strategies for improvements Round Table and Comparison Among: • Evolutionary Codes(Assumptions, Numerical Algorithms, etc.) • Input Physics(EOS, Opacities, Cross Sections, Neutrino Losses, Electron Screenings, etc.) • Nuclear Network (extension, how it is included into the code) • Computation of Models under the same code setup Input Physics Repository • EOS, Opacities, Cross Sections, etc.(Tables and Codes) Additional comments welcome......
