Rate Tables for the Weak Processes of pf-SHELL Nuclei in Stellar Environments

The weak interaction rates in stellar environments are computed for pf-shell nuclei in the mass range A=45-65 using large-scale shell-model calculations. The calculated capture and decay rates take into consideration the latest experimental energy levels and log ft-values. The rates are tabulated at the same grid points of density and temperature as those used by Fuller, Fowler, and Newman for densities ρY_e=10-10¹¹ g/cm³ and temperatures T=10⁷-10¹¹ K, and hence are relevant for both types of supernovae (Type Ia and Type II). Effective <ft> values for capture rates and average neutrino (antineutrino) energies are also given to facilitate the use of interpolated rates in stellar evolution codes.
