Stellar populations in gas-rich galaxy mergers I. Dependence on star formation history

open access: yes, 1998
We investigate the nature of stellar populations of major galaxy mergers between late-type spirals considerably abundant in interstellar medium by performing numerical simulations designed to solve both the dynamical and chemical evolution in a self ...

The Chemical Evolution of the Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present an abundance analysis based on high resolution spectra of 8 stars selected to span the full range in metallicity in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find [Fe/H] for the sample stars ranges from -1.5 to -3.0 dex.

The Chemical Evolution of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Frank N. Bash Symposium 2015 — PoS(BASH2015), 2016
The gas-phase oxygen abundance, i.e. metallicity, of a galaxy is set by the interplay between star formation and gas flows. Metals are dispersed into the interstellar medium by stellar winds and supernovae. Metals accumulate in the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies and provide a record of star-formation.

Search for Extremely Metal-poor Stars with Gemini-N/Graces. I. Chemical-abundance Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present stellar parameters and abundances of 13 elements for 18 very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] < –2.0) stars, selected as extremely metal-poor (EMP; [Fe/H] < –3.0) candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Large sky Area Multi-Object Fiber ...

On the Chemical Evolution of Our Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1996
We have investigated the chemical evolution of the solar neighborhood with a particular emphasis on the helium abundance and the current supernova (SN) rate, while taking into account the effects of the stellar mass loss on nucleosynthesis in stars. We found that the Scalo IMF can reproduce the solar-helium abundance as well as the current ratio of ...

ChemicalUniverseMachine. I. Uncovering the Cosmic Evolution of Metals in the Galaxy–Interstellar Medium–Circumgalactic Medium Ecosystem

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present an empirical chemical evolution model that explains the distribution of metals in the interstellar medium (ISM) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies based on the U niverse M achine and N eutral U niverse M achine models in the ...

JINA-NuGrid Galactic Chemical Evolution Pipeline

open access: yes, 2016
Galactic chemical evolution is a topic that involves nuclear physics, stellar evolution, galaxy evolution, observation, and cosmology. Continuous communication and feedback between these fields is a key component in improving our understanding of how ...

Figuring Out Gas and Galaxies In Enzo (FOGGIE). VIII. Complex and Stochastic Metallicity Gradients at z > 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Gas-phase metallicity gradients are a crucial element in understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. We use the FOGGIE simulations to study the metallicity gradients (∇ Z ) of six Milky Way–like galaxies throughout their evolution.

JWST Census for the Mass–Metallicity Star Formation Relations at z = 4–10 with Self-consistent Flux Calibration and Proper Metallicity Calibrators

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We present the evolution of the mass–metallicity (MZ) relation at z = 4–10 derived with 135 galaxies identified in JWST/NIRSpec data taken from the three major public spectroscopy programs of ERO, GLASS, and CEERS.
