The nature of Long-GRB host galaxies from chemical abundances

X. L. Fan, J. Yin, F. Matteucci

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic events after the Big Bang and they have been observed up to very high redshift. By means of measures of chemical abundances now avail…

The chemical evolution of IC10

Jun Yin, Laura Magrini, Francesca Matteucci +3

Dwarf irregular galaxies are relatively simple unevolved objects where it is easy to test models of galactic chemical evolution. We attempt to determine the star formation and gas…

Milky Way vs Andromeda: a tale of two disks

J. Yin, J. L. Hou, N. Prantzos +4

We study the chemical evolution of the disks of the Milky Way (MW) and of Andromeda (M31), in order to reveal common points and differences between the two major galaxies of the Lo…

The color gradients of spiral disks in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

C. Z. Liu, S. Y. Shen, Z. Y. Shao +4

We investigate the radial color gradients of galactic disks using a sample of about 20,000 face-on spiral galaxies selected from the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Su…

Origin and Evolution of the Abundance Gradient along the Milky Way Disk

J. Fu, J. L. Hou, J. Yin +1

Based on a simple model of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way disk, we investigate the disk oxygen abundance gradient and its time evolution. Two star formation rates (SFRs) a…

Properties and Chemical Evolution of the M31 Disk: Comparison with the Milky Way

J. L. Hou, J. Yin, S. Boissier +3

By adopting the chemical evolution model of the Milky Way disk, we have studied the star formation and chemical evolution history for M31 galaxy disk. We mainly concentrated on the…
