Snapshots of slices of 16O, 28Si and 56Ni densities, respectively, similar to Figure 1. As b decreases, a higher abundance of 56Ni is produced, at the expense of 16O (and 12C), due to runaway nuclear burning. Abundances of 28Si (and other isotopes from Ne to Ca) initially increase with decreasing b, peaking around b ∼ 0.16 − 0.17, and decrease after (see also Figure 2). When nuclear burning is significant, the inner, intermediate, and outer regions of the ejecta (relative to the centers of the plumes of debris) are dominated by 56Ni, 28Si (also other intermediate isotopes), and 16O (also 12C), respectively. The transition from a standard TDE (b = 0.20) to TDE+SN is clear.
