The shock consumes its entire kinetic energy still within the Fe core - It turns into an accretion shock at a radius between 100 and 200 km and the Explosion Fails

The shock consumes its entire kinetic energy still within the Fe core - It turns into an accretion shock at a radius between 100 and 200 km and the Explosion Fails

Lots of neutrinos are emitted from the newly forming neutron star at the center - The persistent neutrino energy deposition behind the shock keeps the pressure high in this region and drives the shock outwards again, eventually leading to a supernova explosion.

The most recent and detailed simulations of core collapse SN explosions show that:

the shock still stalls No explosion is obtained

the energy of the explosion is a factor of 3 to 10 lower than usually observed

Work is underway by all the theoretical groups to better understand the problem and we may expect progresses in the

next future

The simulation of the explosion of the envelope is needed to have information on:

the chemical yields (propagation of the shock wave compression and heating explosive nucleosynthesis)

the initial mass-remnant mass relation

THE CURRENT CCSN MODELSAfter two decades of research the paradigm of the neutrino driven wind explosion mechanism is widely accepted, but….

The explosive nucleosynthesis calculations for core collapse supernovae are still based on explosions induced by injecting an arbitrary amount of energy in a (also arbitrary) mass location of the presupernova model and then following the development of the blast wave by means of an hydro code.

Since nuclear reactions are very temperature sensitive, this cause nucleosynthesis to occur within few seconds that might otherwise have taken days or years in the presupernova evolution.

37CHEMICAL ENRICHMENT DUE TO A GENERATION OF MASSIVE STARS

Massive stars contribute significantly to the production of elements from C to Sr (~2 < PF( C < Z < Sr ) < ~11)

Elements produced by explosive burnings are almost co-produced with O and also in roughly solar proportions except for the Fe peak elementsMassive stars contribute to the production of the Fe peak elements for about 30% of the global production.

38SUMMARY

Assuming a Salpeter IMF, massive stars contribute significantly to the production of elements from C to Sr (~2 < PF( C < Z < Sr ) < ~11)

Explosive nucleosynthesis (EN) occurs in the innermost zones (R<13500 km) of the exploding envelope (above the Fe core) of any massive starEN modifies significantly the presupernova abundances and is responsible for the production of all the elements from Si to Ni (with few exceptions)

Because of the large binding energy, and hence large remnant masses, stars with M>30 M do not contribute to the enrichment of elements produced by EN

Elements produced by explosive burnings are almost co-produced with O and also in roughly solar proportions except for the Fe peak elementsMassive stars contribute to the production of the Fe peak elements for about 30% of the global production.

44CHEMICAL ENRICHMENT DUE TO

MASSIVE STARSThe average metallicity Z grows slowly and

continuously with respect to the evolutionary timescales of the stars that contribute to the

environment enrichment

Most of the solar system distribution is the result (as a first approximation) of the ejecta of ‘‘quasi ’’–solar-

metallicity stars.

The PFs of the chemical composition provided by a generation of solar metallicity stars should be

almost flat
