The Chemical Yields of Stars in the Mass Range 9–15 M⊙ by Marco Limongi, Lorenzo Roberti, Agnese Falla, Alessandro Chieffi, Ken’ichi Nomoto

“…We find that: (1) the yields of the intermediate mass elements (i.e., O to P) show a steep decrease as the initial mass decreases; (2) the yields of s -weak components, i.e., those produced by the slow neutron captures from Ga to to the first neutron closure shell, decrease almost linearly as a function of the initial mass with respect to the ones produced by the more massive stars; and (3) the global contribution of the stars in the mass range 9.22−13 M _⊙ to the yields of a generation of massive stars averaged over a standard initial mass function is negligible for essentially all the isotopes. …”
