Distributions of the ⁵⁶Ni yield for three different transition densities ρ ₇ = 0.76 (solid), 1.26 (dashed), and 2.00 (dotted). Note that the variance increases with decreasing transition density. The distribution corresponding to ρ ₇ = 0.76 is calculated by extrapolating the dependence of DDT density as described in Section 5.1 such that the mean M( ⁵⁶Ni) 0.60  M _☉ is consistent with observations.
