A convective envelope forms, the inner border of this envelope reachs zones chemically modified by he central H-burning.

HELIUM BURNING – 3

At central H-exhaustion, the He core is mainly composed by 4He (98%) & 14N (1%)

Withouth Nuclear Energy generation within the core, it contracts and Tc increases

When Tc ~ 1.5 108 K Efficient He-burning

At the beginning 4He 8Be and 8Be rapidly decays to 4He

4He + 4He 8Be +

8Be 4He + 4He

8Be + 4He 12C +

Later, at higher T and the equilibrium abundance of 8Be increases

and so increases the probability of the reaction 8Be + 4He producing 12C

3 4He 12C +

HELIUM BURNING – REACTIONS

Initially: 4He in 12C But when 12C abundance is significant and 4He abundance is

reduced, it is more likely that 4He is captured by 12C than by 4He:

3 4He 12C +

12C + 4He 12O +

16O + 4He 20Ne +

At central He exhaustion, He burning moves to a shell just outside the CO core

The following evolution is characterized by the development of a convective He-burning shell limited by the CO core and by the H-burning shell.

The chemical composition of this shell, that will be active till the collapse, tends to get frozen because the evolution of the star is more and more rapid at the

advanced phases.

The two density gradients correspond to the border of the He core (~ 9 M) and to the border of the CO core (~ 6 M )

ADVANCED EVOLUTIONARY PHASES: NEUTRINO DOMINATED

Now the CO core, produced by the central He-burning, contracts During the contraction the and T within the core favours the production of thermal neutrinos produced by pair anhilation.

At T>109 K high energy photons produce e+e- pairs

eeThat suddenly recombine to produce a photon.BUT once over 1019 times, e+e- produces a neutrino-antineutrino pair

eeee times)10/1( 19

This energy sink increases along the subsequent phases up to the pre-collapse phase

Advanced evolutionary phases of massive stars are called

“neutrino dominated”

Page 22: Core Collapse SNe Inma Domínguez Marco Limongi.  Evolution of Massive Stars  Hydrostatic Nucleosynthesis  Explosion Mechanism  Explosive Nucleosynthesis

From now on the energy losses:

Photons from the surface

Neutrinos from the center

Up to C central ignition the main energy losses are due to photons and after are due to neutrinos. As the nuclear energy gives the star what is lossing, it follows first the luminosity of photons, and after, the neutrino luminosity

The gravitational collapse of a stars with M 12 M could liberate an energy of

Most of this energy increases the electron energy and, after electron captures, is converted in neutrino energy

Just a small fraction is used to eject (kinetic energy) the envelope

So, the key question is to find a mechanism able to transform a small fraction of the binding energy left during the collapse in kinetic energy of the envelope with the observed velocities ( 104 km/s)

EXPLOSIVE NUCLEOSYNTHESIS: PROGENITOR

Influence of the Progenitor:

1) M-R RELATION (= density profile):

Fix the mass inside a certain volume

2) Ye (neutronization):

In those zones that reach NSE or QSE determines the rate between protons and neutrons

3) Chemical Composition :

For those zones that experience normal burnings (ie. Explosive Carbon e Neon burnings) fix the amount of fuel available.

MASS CUT

The Mass Cut depends on the piston initial velocity

The lack of a explosion model makes the MASS CUT and the KINETIC ENERGY quantities that depend on parameters (initial energy or piston initial velocity and place at which the

explosion is started)

In general, for greater initial velocities Smaller Mass Cut Greater kinetic Energies

EXPLOSION PROPERTIES: CHANGES IN CHEMESTRY

The changes in composition due to the explosion occur only at the most internal ~3.1 M

Outside the chemical composition remains untouched. It is that from the hydrostatic burning

The complete explosive Si burning and part ot the incomplete explosive Si burning fall back to the compact remant

Based on the Bolometric LCs and on the distance, we can deduce the amount of 56Ni produced during the explosion

After an initial phase, different for the different types of SNe, the LC is powered by the photons produced by the radioactive decay

56Ni is produced in the most internal zone depends critically on the Mass Cut The Mass Cut may be choose to reproduce a certain amount of 56Ni in agreement with the observations.

The theoretical kinetic energy must be compatible with the observed

MASS CUT CALIBRATION vs INITIAL MASS

From the observed initial mass of the progenitor we may obtain an empirical relaction between this mass and the 56Ni produced (or Mcut)

Few estimations of the progenitor initial mass from the observations

Similar masses give very different 56Ni masses

CHOOSING A MASS CUT

1) FLAT Case: All masses produce the same 56Ni mass = 0.05 M For each model a different mass cut is chosen in order to reproduce this amount of Ni

2) TREND Case: We adopt a relation between Initial Mass and 56Ni Mass:

Mi (M)

M(56Ni) (M)

13 0.15

15 0.10

20 0.08

25 0.07

Two isotopes with the same Production Factor

Same Rate as in the Sun

Oxygen is produced only by Type II SNe and is the most abundant element produced by SNII Oxygen Production Factor is a Good Metallicity indicator

It is useful to normalize all PF to that of Oxygen to show wich isotopes follow Oxygen (Z)

INTEGRATED YIELDS (Elements)

Yields from 13-35 M + Salpeter Mass FunctionIt is assumed that all masses produce the same amount of 56Ni (FLAT)

We consider “Solar Scaled” with respect to O all elements with a PF within a factor 2 of the O PF

The yields produced by a generation of massive stars integrated by a Salpeter IMF

depend mainly on the yields coming from a 20-25 M star

Production of Fe the percentage of SNIa, relative to SNII, has been fixed by requiring that PFFe=PFO

Open circles = No SNIa Filled circles = 12% SNIa

1)SNIa contribute only to the Solar System abundances of nuclei in the range Ti-Ni

2)The inclusion of SNIa brings 50Ti and 54Cr into the band of compatibility 50Ti and 54Cr become scaled solar compared to O

Contribution of Type Ia SNe

3) 14N and lot of heavy elements come from AGB stars

CONCLUSIONS

Assuming a Salpeted IMF the efficiency of enriching the ISM with heavy elements is:

H: decreased by f=0.64He: increased by f=1.47Metals: increased by f=6.84

For each solar mass of gas

CHEMICAL ENRICHMENT BY A GENERATION OF MASSIVE STARS

The 25 M solar model could be considered as the “typical” case, representative of stars from 13 to 35 M

If we compute the YIELDS (ejected abundances in solar masses) of the different isotopes produced by a grid of models (~13 to 35 M), we could compute the chemical contribution of a generation of Massive Stars to the ISM

These YIEDS are ingredients in a Chemical Evolution Model for the Galaxy, includes SFR, IMF & Infall

In principle, the chemical solar distribution is a consequence of different generations of stars with different initial compositions

The metallicity of the ISM is expected to increse continously and with longer time-scales than the evolutionary time of the stars that contributes to the chemical enrichment

We expect that the YIELDS of a generation of masive solar metallicity stars explain the solar distribution

Page 53: Core Collapse SNe Inma Domínguez Marco Limongi.  Evolution of Massive Stars  Hydrostatic Nucleosynthesis  Explosion Mechanism  Explosive Nucleosynthesis

The only elements that vary between case “Flat” and case “Trend” are Fe and Ni and, at a smaller extent also Ti, Co and Zn (i.e. elements produced in the deep layers of the exploding mantle)

The majority of the elements have PFs compatible with that of O show a scaled solar distribution
