Short-lived radioactive isotopes (SLRs) with half-lives between 0.1 and 100 Myr can be used to probe the origin of the Solar system. In this work, we examine the core-collapse supernovae production of the 15 SLRs produced: ²⁶Al, ³⁶Cl, ⁴¹Ca, ⁵³Mn, ⁶⁰Fe, ⁹²Nb, ⁹⁷Tc, ⁹⁸Tc, ¹⁰⁷Pd, ¹²⁶Sn, ¹²⁹I, ¹³⁵Cs, ¹⁴⁶Sm, ¹⁸²Hf, and ²⁰⁵Pb. Here, we probe the impact of the uncertainties of the core-collapse explosion mechanism by examining a collection of 62 core-collapse models with initial masses of 15, 20, and 25 M_⊙, explosion energies between 3.4 × 10⁵⁰ and 1.8 × 10⁵² erg and compact remnant masses between 1.5 and 4.89 M_⊙. We identify the impact of both explosion energy and remnant mass on the final yields of the SLRs. Isotopes produced within the innermost regions of the star, such as ⁹²Nb and ⁹⁷Tc, are the most affected by the remnant mass, ⁹²Nb varying by five orders of magnitude. Isotopes synthesized primarily in explosive C-burning and explosive He-burning, such as ⁶⁰Fe, are most affected by explosion energies. ⁶⁰Fe increases by two orders of magnitude from the lowest to the highest explosion energy in the 15 M_⊙ model. The final yield of each examined SLR is used to compare to literature models.
