Chemical Evolution of Galaxies: Past, Present and Future
Francesca Matteucci
In this paper I will describe the basic principles of chemical evolution of galaxies, its main ingredients and uncertainties. By means of chemical evolution we can perform the so-c…
Tracing the Milky Way spiral arms with 26Al -- The role of nova systems in the 2D distribution of 26Al
Arianna Vasini, Emanuele Spitoni, Francesca Matteucci +2
Massive stars are one of the most important and investigated astrophysical production sites of Al, a short-lived radioisotope with 1 Myr half-life. Its short lifetime…
Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge with different stellar populations
M. Molero, F. Matteucci, E. Spitoni +2
The metallicity distribution function (MDF) of the Galactic bulge features a multi-peak shape, with a metal-poor peak at [Fe/H]=-0.3 dex and a metal-rich peak at [Fe/H]=+0.3 dex. T…
(Re)mind the gap: a hiatus in star formation history unveiled by APOGEE DR17
E. Spitoni, F. Matteucci, R. Gratton +3
The analysis of several spectroscopic surveys indicates the presence of a bimodality between the disc stars in the abundance ratio space of [/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. The two stellar…
2D chemical evolution models II. Effects of multiple spiral arm patterns on O, Eu, Fe and Ba abundance gradients
E. Spitoni, G. Cescutti, A. Recio-Blanco +7
According to observations and numerical simulations, the Milky Way could exhibit several spiral arm modes with multiple pattern speeds, wherein the slower patterns are located at l…
Galactic Archaeology with [Mg/Mn] versus [Al/Fe] abundance ratios -- Uncertainties and caveats
Arianna Vasini, Emanuele Spitoni, Francesca Matteucci
The diagram depicting the abundance ratios [Mg/Mn] vs. [Al/Fe] has gained attention in recent literature as a valuable tool for exploring fundamental aspects of the evolution of th…
