Radioactivities and nucleosynthesis in SN 1987A

Abstract

The nucleosynthesis and production of radioactive elements in SN 1987A are reviewed. Different methods for estimating the masses of 56Ni, 57Ni, and 44Ti are discussed, and we conclude that broad band photometry in combination with time-dependent models for the light curve gives the most reliable estimates.
