Abstract

Type Ia supernova explosions (SN Ia) are fundamental sources of elements for the chemical evolution of galaxies. They efficiently produce intermediate-mass (with Z between 11 and 20) and iron group elements - for example, about 70% of the solar iron is expected to be made by SN Ia. In this work, we calculate complete abundance yields for 39 models of SN Ia explosions, based on three progenitors - a 1.4 M ⊙ deflagration detonation model, a 1.0 M ⊙ double detonation model, and a 0.8 M ⊙ double detonation model - and 13 metallicities, with 22Ne mass fractions of 0, 1 × 10-7, 1 × 10-6, 1 × 10-5, 1 × 10-4, 1 × 10-3, 2 × 10-3, 5 × 10-3, 1 × 10-2, 1.4 × 10-2, 5 × 10-2, and 0.1, respectively. Nucleosynthesis calculations are done using the NuGrid suite of codes, using a consistent nuclear reaction network between the models. Complete tables with yields and production factors are provided online at Zenodo:Yields (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8060323). We discuss the main properties of our yields in light of the present understanding of SN Ia nucleosynthesis, depending on different progenitor mass and composition. Finally, we compare our results with a number of relevant models from the literature.
