Galactic Chemical Evolution
The primary present-day observables upon which theories of galaxy evolution are based are a system's morphology, dynamics, colour, and chemistry. Individually, each provides an important constraint to any given model; in concert, the four represent a fundamental (intractable) boundary condition for chemody-namical simulations. We review the current state-of-the-art semi-analytical and chemodyna...
متن کاملComparison of Chemical Evolution Models for the Galactic Disk
The best chemical evolution models for the galactic disk computed by diierent groups with diierent assumptions are compared with each other and with the observational constraints. Diierences and similarities between the models are discussed, emphasizing the importance of testing not only the solar neighbourhood but the whole disk. The history of the metal abundance gradients is found to be very...
متن کاملInitial Mass Function and Galactic Chemical Evolution Models
In this contribution we focus on results from chemical evolution models for the solar neighbourhood obtained by varying the IMF. Results for galaxies of different morphological type are discussed as well. They argue against a universal IMF independent of star forming conditions.
متن کاملUncertainties and Systematics in Stellar Evolution Models
In this last decade, our knowledge of evolutionary and structural properties of stars of different mass and chemical composition is significantly improved. This result has been achieved as a consequence of our improved capability in understanding and describing the physical behavior of stellar matter in the different thermal regimes characteristic of the different stellar mass ranges and/or evo...
متن کاملThe Galactic Habitable Zone I. Galactic Chemical Evolution
We propose the concept of a ”Galactic Habitable Zone” (GHZ). Analogous to the Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ), the GHZ is that region in the Milky Way where an Earth-like planet can retain liquid water on its surface and provide a long-term habitat for animal-like aerobic life. In this paper we examine the dependence of the GHZ on Galactic chemical evolution. The single most important factor...
