Description:
    We present theoretical yields of H, ^4^He, ^12^C, ^13^C, ^14^N, and
    ^16^O for stars with initial masses between 0.8 and 8M_{sun}_ and
    initial metallicities Z=0.001, 0.004, 0.008, 0.02, and 0.04. We use
    the evolutionary tracks of the Geneva group up to the early asymptotic
    giant branch (AGB) in combination with a synthetic thermal-pulsing AGB
    evolution model to follow in detail the chemical evolution and mass
    loss up to the end of the AGB including the first, second, and third
    dredge-up phases. Most of the relations used are metallicity dependent
    to make a realistic comparison with stars of different initial
    abundances. The effect of Hot Bottom Burning (HBB) is included in an
    approximate way. The metallicity dependent yields of intermediate mass
    stars listed in tables (1-38) below are well suited for use in
    galactic chemical evolution models.
