Abstract
We present helium and CNO isotopic yields for massive mass-losing star s in the initial mass range 15 M. less than or equal to M(i) less than or equal to 50 M.. We investigate their dependence on assumptions abo ut mass loss rates, internal mixing processes, and metallicity, and sp ecify the contributions from stellar winds and from supernova ejecta.
