26Al yields from rotating Wolf–Rayet star models

Abstract We present new 26Al stellar yields from rotating Wolf–Rayet stellar models which, at solar metallicity, well reproduce the observed properties of the Wolf–Rayet populations. These new yields are enhanced with respect to non-rotating models, even with respect to non-rotating models computed with enhanced mass loss rates. We briefly discuss some implications of the use of these new yields for estimating the global contribution of Wolf–Rayet stars to the quantity of 26Al now present in the Milky Way.
