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…

Origin of neutron capture elements with the Gaia-ESO survey: the evolution of s- and r-process elements across the Milky Way

Marta Molero, Laura Magrini, Francesca Matteucci +5

We study the abundance patterns and the radial gradients of s-process elements (Y, Zr, Ba, La and Ce), r-process elements (Eu) and mixed-process elements (Mo, Nd and Pr) in the Gal…

Chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies I: supernovae and AGN feedback

Marta Molero, Francesca Matteucci, Luca Ciotti

We study the formation and evolution of elliptical galaxies and how they suppress star formation and maintain it quenched. A one-zone chemical model which follows in detail the tim…

Detailed Chemical Abundances of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Randa Asa'd, S. Hernandez, A. M. As'ad +4

We derive the first detailed chemical abundances of three star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), NGC1831 (436+/-22 Myr), NGC1856 (350+/-18 Myr) and [SL63]268 (1230+/-62…

Evolution of neutron capture elements in dwarf galaxies

Marta Molero, Donatella Romano, Moritz Reichert +6

We study the evolution of Eu and Ba abundances in local group dwarf spheroidal and ultra faint dwarf galaxies by means of detailed chemical evolution models and compare our results…

The evolution of Lithium: implications of a universal Spite plateau

Francesca Matteucci, Marta Molero, David S. Aguado +1

The cosmological {7Li problem consists in explaining why the primordial Li abundance, as predicted by the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis theory with constraints from WMAP and Pl…

Predicted rates of merging neutron stars in galaxies

Marta Molero, Paolo Simonetti, Francesca Matteucci +1

In this work, we compute rates of merging neutron stars (MNS) in galaxies of different morphological type, as well as the cosmic MNS rate in a unitary volume of the Universe adopti…
