Chemical Evolution along the Hubble sequence
Mercedes Molla, A. Diaz, Federico Ferrini
We show a grid of multiphase models whose results are valid for any spiral galaxy, using as input the luminosity or the rotation velocity and the morphological type, measured by th…
On the origin of the luminosity - metallicity relation for late-type galaxies: Spirals to irregulars transition
L. S. Pilyugin, F. Ferrini
We consider the roles of two widely invoked mechanisms for the metallicity-luminosity correlation among late-type galaxies: higher astration level and decreasing efficiency of heav…
Elemental abundances at early times: the nature of Damped Lyman-alpha systems
Mercedes Molla, Angeles Diaz, Federico Ferrini
The distribution of element abundances with redshift in Damped Ly-alpha (DLA) systems can be adequately reproduced by the same model reproducing the halo and disk components of the…
Galactic chemical evolution of Ba-peak elements
C. Travaglio, D. Galli, R. Gallino +3
The chemical evolution of the Galaxy is followed for the elements affected by neutron capture, in particular for those in the atomic number range 56 to 63 (Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm a…
