isotopic solar composition
to within a factor of two
Here is the paper that describes the chemical evolution code and its results. According to Burstein (astro-ph 0005277, Table 3) this paper is one of the Top 10 cited papers published in 1995. This page has more chemical evolution abundance histories.

Neutron star & black hole
initial mass function
While other papers came out of this work, I like this one predicting the neutron star & black hole mass distribution Check out this page for additional images .


The ascii data file maltov1.orig contains the isotopic contributions from
  • Type II supernovae (Woosley & Weaver 1995 models),
  • low mass stars (Renzini & Violi 1986 models),
  • six different Type Ia supernovae models (Chandra,Sub-Chandra, & NSE),
  • three different classical novae flavors (1.0, 1.25, and 1.35 Msol models),
  • Big Bang.
It's a more-or-less complete description of our understanding of nucleosynthesis from hydrogen to zinc circa 1995. You'll need it to run the code:


chem.f
plus four include files:
chem3.dek
lunits.dek
parze.dek
timers.dek
plus an example input file:
chem3.inp


 



Please cite the relevant references if you publish a piece of work that use these codes, pieces of these codes, or modified versions of them. If you're nice, offer co-authorship of the publication. At best, you'll love these programs so much that you'll send great wads of cash to me.
