Abstract

We investigate hydrodynamical and nucleosynthetic properties of the jet-induced explosion of a population III 40M40M_\odot star and compare the abundance patterns of the yields with those of the metal-poor stars. We conclude that (1) the ejection of Fe-peak products and the fallback of unprocessed materials can account for the abundance patterns of the extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars and that (2) the jet-induced explosion with different energy deposition rates can explain the diversity of the abundance patterns of the metal-poor stars. Furthermore, the abundance distribution after the explosion and the angular dependence of the yield are shown for the models with high and low energy deposition rates E˙dep=120×1051ergss1\dot{E}_{\rm dep}=120\times10^{51} {\rm ergs s^{-1}} and 1.5×1051ergss11.5\times10^{51} {\rm ergs s^{-1}}. We also find that the peculiar abundance pattern of a Si-deficient metal-poor star HE 1424--0241 can be reproduced by the angle-delimited yield for θ=3035\theta=30^\circ-35^\circ of the model with E˙dep=120×1051ergss1\dot{E}_{\rm dep}=120\times10^{51} {\rm ergs s^{-1}}.
