Table 3

WR- and SN-type ratios deduced from our models, and comparison with previous works and observations.

Notes.  Remark: note that even though it seems that the non-rotating models better reproduce the various ratios of the WR subtypes, they are worse at reproducing the WR/O ratio. It is important to fit all these ratios simultaneously.

(1)

Considering that the surface He abundance limit between WNL and WNE is 0.1 instead of 10-5.

(2)

The maximum He mass ejected allowed to be still considered as a Type Ic SN is 0.4–0.6–0.8 M in the low–medium–high SN Ic case, respectively (see Georgy et al. 2009).

(3)

Assuming that the formation of a BH during the collapse has no influence on the SN explosion.

(4)

Assuming that the formation of a BH during the collapse prevents a bright SN explosion.
