Chemical evolution of the Milky Way and its Satellites
Francesca Matteucci
This paper contains the lectures I delivered during the 37th Saas-Fee Advanced Course in March 2007. It reviews all the main ingredients necessary to build galactic chemical evolut…
Stars, gas and dust in elliptical galaxies
Antonio Pipino, Francesca Matteucci, Thomas H. Puzia
I will present recent theoretical results on the formation and the high redshift assembly of spheroids. These findings have been obtained by utilising different and complementary t…
On the evolution of the Fe abundance and of the Type Ia SN rate in clusters of galaxies
Francesco Calura, Francesca Matteucci, Paolo Tozzi +1
The study of the Fe abundance in the intra cluster medium (ICM) provides strong constraints on the integrated star formation history and supernova rate of the cluster galaxies, as…
The chemical evolution of Omega Centauri's progenitor system
D. Romano, F. Matteucci, M. Tosi +5
Chemical evolution models are presented for the anomalous globular cluster Omega Centauri. After demonstrating that the chemical features of Omega Cen can not be reproduced in the…
Quantifying the uncertainties of chemical evolution studies. I. The stellar initial mass function and the stellar lifetimes
Donatella Romano, Cristina Chiappini, Francesca Matteucci +1
The stellar initial mass function and the stellar lifetimes are basic ingredients of chemical evolution models, for which different recipes can be found in the literature. In this…
The role of nova nucleosynthesis in Galactic chemical evolution
Donatella Romano, Francesca Matteucci
In this paper we study the impact of nova nucleosynthesis on models for the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. It is found that novae are likely to be the sources of non-negligible…
