Total metal yields of core-collapse SN models at Z = 0.002 provided by Woosley & Weaver (1995) (the A-series SNe models; green line) and of PISNe at Z = 0.001 (blue line), multiplied by the initial mass function probability (Φ(M) ∝ M ^Γ ) as a function of the initial mass. The y-axis is given in arbitrary units. Here, the PISN yields in the range 140–260 M_⊙ are given by the extrapolation and interpolation of our 150 M_⊙ and 250 M_⊙ model results. We assumed a negligible metal yield for 40 M_⊙<M< 140 M_⊙ and above 260 M_⊙.
