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…
Constraining the star formation histories of GRB Host Galaxies from their observed abundance patterns
F. Calura, M. Dessauges-Zavadsky, J. X. Prochaska +2
Long-duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are linked to the collapse of massive stars and their hosts are exclusively identified as active, star forming galaxies. Four long GRBs observ…
The effect of differential galactic winds on the chemical evolution of galaxies
S. Recchi, E. Spitoni, F. Matteucci +1
(Abridged) The aim of this paper is to study the basic equations of the chemical evolution of galaxies with gas flows. We focus on models in which the outflow is differential, name…
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…
Are dry mergers of Ellipticals the way to reconcile model predictions with the downsizing?
Antonio Pipino, Francesca Matteucci
To show that the bulk of the star formation and the galaxy assembly should occur simultaneously in order to reproduce at the same time the downsizing and the chemical properties of…
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…
