Galaxy Formation and Chemical Evolution in Hierarchical Hydrodynamical Simulations

arXiv:astro-ph/0007072

Abstract

We report first results of an implementation of a chemical model in a cosmological code, based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. We show that chemical SPH simulations are a promising tool to provide clues for the understanding of the chemical properties of galaxies in relation to their formation and evolution in a cosmological framework.
