Abstract

We use models of the rates of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and core-collapse supernovae, built in such a way that both are consistent with recent observational constraints at z 75 per cent of the Nickel mass observed locally are produced by SN Ia ejecta, (2) the SN Ia contribution to the metal budget decreases steeply with redshift and by z~1 is already less than half of the local amount and (3) a transition in the abundance ratios relative to the Iron is present between redshifts ~0.5 and 1.4, with core-collapse SN products becoming dominant at higher redshifts.
