Abstract
The evolution of gas abundances in galaxies and the enrichment of heavy elements as a function of space and time reflects the history of star formation and the lifetimes of the diverse contributing stellar objects. Supernovae of type la and type II/Ib/Ic are the main contributors to nucleosynthesis in galaxies. Despite many efforts, a full and self-consistent understanding of supernova explosion mechanisms is not existing, yet. However, they leave fingerprints, seen either in spectra, lightcurves, radioactivities/decay gamma-rays or in galactic evolution. Here we want to address the relation of model uncertainties to the composition of ejecta and test them with constraints from abundance observations.

Nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution
Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Argast, D.; Brachwitz, F.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Rauscher, T.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Mezzacappa, A.; Hoflich, P.; Nomoto, K. (2002)Two of the basic building blocks of galaxies are stars and the interstellar medium. The evolution of the abundance composition in the latter and especially the enrichment of heavy elements as a function of space and time ... -

Core-collapse supernova explosions triggered by a quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase
Fischer, T.; Sagert, I.; Pagliara, G.; Hempel, M.; Schaffner-Bielich, J.; Rauscher, T.; Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Kaeppeli, R.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Liebendoerfer, M. (2011-06)We explore explosions of massive stars, which are triggered via the quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase of core-collapse supernovae. We construct a quark equation of state, based on the bag ...
