The origin of abundance gradients in the Milky Way: the predictions of different models
E. Colavitti, G. Cescutti, F. Matteucci +1
We aim at studying the abundance gradients along the Galactic disk and their dependence upon several parameters: a threshold in the surface gas density regulating star formation, t…
The chemical evolution of Manganese in different stellar systems
G. Cescutti, F. Matteucci, G. A. Lanfranchi +1
Aims. To model the chemical evolution of manganese relative to iron in three different stellar systems: the solar neighbourhood, the Galactic bulge and the Sagittarius dwarf sphero…
An inhomogeneous model for the Galactic halo: a possible explanation for the spread observed in s- and r-process elements
G. Cescutti
We propose an explanation for the considerable scatter of the abundances of neutron capture elements observed in low-metallicity stars in the solar vicinity, compared to the small…
Chemical evolution of neutron capture elements in our Galaxy and in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies of the Local Group
Gabriele Cescutti
By adopting a chemical evolution model for the Milky Way already reproducing the evolution of several chemical elements, we compare our theoretical results with accurate and new st…
The Evolution of Oxygen and Magnesium in the Bulge and Disk of the Milky Way
A. McWilliam, F. Matteucci, S. Ballero +3
We show that the Galactic bulge and disk share a similar, strong, decline in [O/Mg] ratio with [Mg/H]. The similarity of the [O/Mg] trend in these two, markedly different, populati…
Inhomogeneous Galactic halo: a possible explanation for the spread observed in s- and r- process elements
G. Cescutti
The considerable scatter of the s- and r-process elements observed in low-metallicity stars, compared to the small star to star scatter observed for the alpha elements, is an open…
