Chemical Evolution Models of Ellipticals and Bulges
Francesca Matteucci
We review some of the models of chemical evolution of ellipticals and bulges of spirals. In particular, we focuse on the star formationn histories of ellipticals and their influenc…
The metallicity distribution of the stars in elliptical galaxies
Antonio Pipino, Francesca Matteucci
Elliptical galaxies probably host the most metal rich stellar populations in the Universe. The processes leading to both the formation and the evolution of such stars are discussed…
Abundance gradients in the Milky Way for alpha elements, Iron peak elements, Barium, Lanthanum and Europium
G. Cescutti, F. Matteucci, P. Francois +1
We model the abundance gradients in the disk of the Milky Way for several chemical elements (O, Mg, Si, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, Co, V, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr, Ba, La and Eu), and compare ou…
The impact of stellar rotation on the CNO abundance patterns in the Milky Way at low metallicities
C. Chiappini, R. Hirschi, F. Matteucci +3
We investigate the effect of new stellar models, which take rotation into account, computed for very low metallicities on the chemical evolution of the earliest phases of the Milky…
Cosmic Supernova Rates and the Hubble Sequence
F. Calura, F. Matteucci
We compute the type Ia, Ib/c and II supernova (SN) rates as functions of the cosmic time for galaxies of different morphological types. We use four different chemical evolution mod…
A new formulation of the Type Ia SN rate and its consequences on galactic chemical evolution
F. Matteucci, N. Panagia, A. Pipino +3
In recent papers Mannucci et al. (2005, 2006) suggested, on the basis of observational arguments, that there is a bimodal distribution of delay times for the explosion of Type Ia S…
