Survey of astrophysical conditions in neutrino-driven supernova ejecta nucleosynthesis

Understand

Core-collapse supernovae produce elements between Fe and Ag depending on the properties of the ejected matter.

• Despite the fast progress in supernova simulations in the last decades, there are still uncertainties in the astrophysical conditions.
• In this paper we investigate the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on the nucleosynthesis.
• Since a systematic study based on trajectories from hydrodynamic simulations is computationally very expensive, we rely on a steady-state model.
