Absolute yields versus mass number (23 Msun star - Caughlan and Fowler 3a rate - 1.2 x Buchmann for 12C(a,g)16O rate) and comparison with Young and Fryer dec 2006 arXiv publication (astro-ph/0612698)

KEPLER plot: done for 23 Msun star, AG89 initial abundances,Caughlan and Fowler 3a rate - 1.2 x Buchmann for 12C(a,g)16O rate.

TYCHO plots: done for 23 Msun star, Grevesse & Sauval 1998 solar abundances for initial composition. The Rauscher & Thielemann NON-SMOKER (Hauser-Feschbach) rates have been used for triple alpha and 12C(a,g)16O (apparently those rates do not come from experiment like in the KEPLER code). ALL plots are done BEFORE radioactive decay (our KEPLER plots are done AFTER radioactive decay). The information on the TYCHO work was provided in an email exchange with Young.

a). KEPLER case. The elements represented are: 16O, 18O, 19F, 20Ne, 23Na, 24Mg, 27Al, 28Si, 31P, 32S, 35Cl, 36Ar, 39K and 40Ca. b). TYCHO 1.2 foe piston explosion:
c). TYCHO 1.2 foe thermal bomb explosion:
