Description
We present theoretical yields of H, ^4^He, ^12^C, ^13^C, ^14^N, and ^16^O for stars with initial masses between 0.8 and 8M_{sun}_ and initial metallicities Z=0.001, 0.004, 0.008, 0.02, and 0.04. We use the evolutionary tracks of the Geneva group up to the early asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in combination with a synthetic thermal-pulsing AGB evolution model to follow in detail the chemical evolution and mass loss up to the end of the AGB including the first, second, and third dredge-up phases. Most of the relations used are metallicity dependent to make a realistic comparison with stars of different initial abundances. The effect of Hot Bottom Burning (HBB) is included in an approximate way. The metallicity dependent yields of intermediate mass stars listed in tables (1-38) below are well suited for use in galactic chemical evolution models.
