Observed [X/Mg]–[Mg/Fe] for Cr, Si, and Al for solar analogs with uncertainties <0.03 dex, shown in order of their Tcond and colored by their observed Tcond slope. Low-Tcond elements like Cr show declining [X/Mg] with [Mg/H], while high-Tcond elements like Al track Mg more closely, resulting in flatter trends. This progressive flattening with increasing Tcond suggests that Tcond correlates with stellar yields and reflects systematic differences in nucleosynthetic origin and the relative contributions from core-collapse and Type Ia supernovae. Data are not separated by survey here for visual clarity.
