A chemical evolution model for galaxy clusters
L. Portinari, A. Moretti, C. Chiosi
We develop a toy-model for the chemical evolution of the intracluster medium, polluted by the galactic winds from elliptical galaxies. The model follows the "galaxy formation histo…

Chemical Evolution of Clusters of Galaxies
L. Portinari, A. Moretti, C. Chiosi
The high metallicity of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is generally interpreted on the base of the galactic wind scenario for elliptical galaxies. In this framework, we develop a t…
