Description of the main quantities used in this work.
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| WD | White dwarf |
| ECSN | Electron capture supernova |
| CCSN | Core collapse supernova |
| PPISN | Pulsation pair instability supernova |
| PISN | Pair instability supernova |
| DBH | Direct collapse to black hole |
| Zi | Initial metallicity. |
| Mi | Mass of the star at the zero-age main sequence |
| Mfin | Mass of the star at the beginning of central carbon burning (almost equivalent to the pre-SN mass) |
| Mrem | Mass of the remnant |
| Mcut | Mass-cut, in a pre-supernova model, enclosing the entire mass that will collapse and form the compact remnant |
| MHe | Mass of the He-core at the beginning of central carbon burning |
| MCO | Mass of CO-core at the beginning of central carbon burning |
| MAGB | Maximum mass for a star to experience the AGB phase and leave a C–O WD |
| MSAGB | Maximum mass for a star to evolve through the Super-AGB and leave an O–Ne–Mg WD |
| Mmas | Minimum mass for a star to experience all hydrostatic nuclear burnings up to the Si-burning stage, with the formation of an iron core which eventually collapses, leading to either a successful CCSN or a failed SN |
| MVMO | Mass boundary between massive stars and VMO |
