Abundance Gradients in the Galactic Disk: a clue to Galaxy Formation
Francesca Matteucci, Cristina Chiappini
We review the observational evidences and the possible theoretical explanations for the abundance gradients in the Galactic disk. In particular, we discuss the implications of abun…
Light and Heavy Elements in the Galactic Bulge
F. Matteucci, D. Romano, P. Molaro
The chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge is treated here in the context of an inside-out model for the Galaxy formation. We assume that this central region evolved even faster…
On the Trend of [Mg/Fe] among Giant Elliptical Galaxies
F. Matteucci, R. Ponzone, B. K. Gibson
We revisit the problem of the flat slope of the Mg2 versus <Fe> relationship found for nuclei of elliptical galaxies (Faber et al. 1992; Worthey et al. 1992; Carollo et al. 1993; D…
The Influence of Stellar Energetics and Dark Matter on the Chemical Evolution of Dwarf Irregulars
F. Bradamante, F. Matteucci, A. D'Ercole
A chemical evolution model following the evolution of the abundances of H, He, C, N, O and Fe for dwarf irregular and blue compact galaxies is presented. This model takes into acco…
