1. The Salpeter IMF has a slope of in this prescription.

2. Corresponding to point 42 in the tables of the tracks, where the central Helium mass fraction is 0.1. This is justified since the subsequent evolution during C-burning should not alter

3. Points 23 and 42 of the tracks.

4. The choice of /Myr instead of the commonly used /yr is for illustrative purposes only.

5. Stellar models with no mass loss, ²⁶Al produced exclusively in SNII with a mass range 11-40 , Salpeter IMF from 0.08 to 40 .

6. This technique of removing irrelevant parameters from the problem is called marginalisation.
