We investigate the metallicity effect (measured by the original 22Ne content) on the detailed nucleosynthetic yields for 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the thermonuclear burning phase in SNe Ia. Calculations are based on post-processes of the ejecta, using passively advected tracer particles, as explained in details by Travaglio et al.(2004). The nuclear reaction network employed in computing the explosive nucleosynthesis contains 383 nuclear species. For this work we use the high resolution multi-point ignition (bubbles) model b30_3d_768 (Travaglio et al.2004 for the solar metallicity case), and we cover a metallicity range between 0.1xZ_sun up to 3xZ_sun. We find a linear dependence of the 56Ni mass ejected on the progenitors metallicity, with a variation in the 56Ni mass of ~25% in the metallicity range explored. Moreover, the largest variation in 56Ni occurs at metallicity greater than solar. Almost no variations are shown in the unburned material 12C and 16O. The largest metallicity effect is seen in the alpha-elements. Finally, implications for the observed scatter in the peak luminosities of SNe Ia are also discussed.

We present the results of nucleosynthesis calculations based on multidimensional (2D and 3D) hydrodynamical simulations of the thermonuclear burning phase in SNIa. The detailed nucleosynthetic yields of our explosion models are calculated by post-pro
cessing the ejecta, using passively advected tracer particles. The nuclear reaction network employed in computing the explosive nucleosynthesis contains 383 nuclear species. We analyzed two different choices of ignition conditions (centrally ignited, in which the spherical initial flame geometry is perturbated with toroidal rings, and bubbles, in which multi-point ignition conditions are simulated). We show that unburned C and O varies typically from ~40% to ~50% of the total ejected material.The main differences between all our models and standard 1D computations are, besides the higher mass fraction of unburned C and O, the C/O ratio (in our case is typically a factor of 2.5 higher than in 1D computations), and somewhat lower abundances of certain intermediate mass nuclei such as S, Cl, Ar, K, and Ca, and of 56Ni. Because explosive C and O burning may produce the iron-group elements and their isotopes in rather different proportions one can get different 56Ni-fractions (and thus supernova luminosities) without changing the kinetic energy of the explosion. Finally, we show that we need the high resolution multi-point ignition (bubbles) model to burn most of the material in the center (demonstrating that high resolution coupled with a large number of ignition spots is crucial to get rid of unburned material in a pure deflagration SNIa model).
We investigate explosive nuclear burning in core collapse supernovae by coupling a tracer particle method to one and two-dimensional Eulerian hydrodynamic calculations. Adopting the most recent experimental and theoretical nuclear data, we compute th
e nucleosynthetic yields for 15 Msun stars with solar metallicity, by post-processing the temperature and density history of advected tracer particles. We compare our results to 1D calculations published in the literature.
We explore SNIa as p-process sources in the framework of two-dimensional SNIa models using enhanced s-seed distributions as directly obtained from a sequence of thermal pulse instabilities. The SNIa WD precursor is assumed to have reached the Chandra
sekhar mass limit in a binary system by mass accretion from a giant/main sequence companion. We apply the tracer-particle method to reconstruct the nucleosynthesis from the thermal histories of Lagrangian particles, passively advected in the hydrodynamic calculations. For each particle we follow the explosive nucleosynthesis with a detailed nuclear reaction network. We select tracers within the typical temperature range for p-process production, 1.5-3.7 109K, and analyse in detail their behaviour, exploring the influence of different s-process distributions on the p-process nucleosynthesis. We find that SNIa contribute to a large fraction of p-nuclei, both the light p-nuclei and the heavy-p nuclei at a quite flat average production factor. For the first time, the very abundant Ru and Mo p-isotopes are reproduced at the same level as the heavy p-nuclei. We investigate the metallicity effect on the p-process production. Starting with a range of s-seeds distributions obtained for different metallicities, running SNIa two-dimensional models and using a simple chemical evolution code, we give estimates of the SNIa contribution to the solar p-process composition. We find that SNIa contribute for at least 50% at the solar p-nuclei composition, in a primary way.
Abundances of low-metallicity stars offer a unique opportunity to understand the contribution and conditions of the different processes that synthesize heavy elements. Many old, metal-poor stars show a robust abundance pattern for elements heavier th
an Ba, and a less robust pattern between Sr and Ag. Here we probe if two nucleosynthesis processes are sufficient to explain the stellar abundances at low metallicity, and we carry out a site independent approach to separate the contribution from these two processes or components to the total observationally derived abundances. Our approach provides a method to determine the contribution of each process to the production of elements such as Sr, Zr, Ba, and Eu. We explore the observed star-to-star abundance scatter as a function of metallicity that each process leads to. Moreover, we use the deduced abundance pattern of one of the nucleosynthesis components to constrain the astrophysical conditions of neutrino-driven winds from core-collapse supernovae.
Type Ia supernovae are thought to be the outcome of the thermonuclear explosion of a carbon/oxygen white dwarf in a close binary system. Their optical light curve is powered by thermalized gamma-rays produced by the radioactive decay of 56Ni, the mos
t abundant isotope present in the debris. The maximum and the shape of the light curve strongly depends on the total amount and distribution of this freshly synthesized isotope, as well as on the velocity and density distribution of the ejecta. Gamma-rays escaping the ejecta have the advantage of their lower interaction with the ejecta, the possibility to distinguish among isotopes and the relative simplicity of their transport modelling, and can be used as a diagnostic tool for studying the structure of the exploding star and the characteristics of the explosion, as it has been proved in the case of SN2014J.
