Abundances in the interstellar medium
- T. Wilson, F. Matteucci
- Physics
- 1 March 1992
SummaryRecent developments in the theory of element production and the chemical evolution of the galaxy are presented. Following this, observational data and their interpretation are given. A case by…
The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation at z > 3
- R. Maiolino, T. Nagao, L. Silva
- Physics
- 18 December 2007
We present initial results of an ESO-VLT large programme (AMAZE) aimed at determining the evolution of the mass-metallicity relation at z > 3 by means of deep near-IR spectroscopy. Gas metallicities…
On the Typical Timescale for the Chemical Enrichment from Type Ia Supernovae in Galaxies
- F. Matteucci, S. Recchi
- Physics
- 4 May 2001
We calculate the Type Ia supernova (SN) rate for different star formation histories in galaxies by adopting the most popular and recent progenitor models. We show that the timescale for the maximum…
Abundance Gradients and the Formation of the Milky Way
- C. Chiappini, F. Matteucci, D. Romano
- Physics
- 8 February 2001
In this paper we adopt a chemical evolution model, which is an improved version of the Chiappini, Matteucci, & Gratton model, assuming two main accretion episodes for the formation of the Galaxy, the…
Quantifying the uncertainties of chemical evolution studies II. Stellar yields
- D. Romano, A. Karakas, M. Tosi, F. Matteucci
- Physics
- 30 June 2010
Context. Galactic chemical evolution models are useful tools for interpreting the large body of high-quality observational data on the chemical composition of stars and gas in galaxies that have…
Dynamical properties of AMAZE and LSD galaxies from gas kinematics and the Tully-Fisher relation at z~3
- A. Gnerucci, A. Marconi, P. Troncoso
- Physics
- 23 July 2010
We present a SINFONI integral-field kinematical study of 33 galaxies at z ∼ 3 from the AMAZE and LSD projects, which are aimed at studying metallicity and dynamics of high-redshift galaxies. The…
Stellar Mass Loss in Elliptical Galaxies and the Fueling of Active Galactic Nuclei
- P. Padovani, F. Matteucci
- Physics
- 1 October 1993
The connection between some observational properties of active galactic nuclei and their host galaxies is studied using a self-consistent model of galactic evolution which reproduces the main…
The evolution of the Milky Way from its earliest phases: Constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis
- P. François, F. Matteucci, -INAF
- Physics
- 23 January 2004
We computed the evolution of the abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca, K, Ti, Sc, Ni, Mn, Co, Fe and Zn in the Milky Way. We made use of the most widely adopted nucleosynthesis calculations and compared the…
Oxygen, carbon and nitrogen evolution in galaxies
- C. Chiappini, D. Romano, F. Matteucci
- Physics
- 30 September 2002
We discuss the evolution of oxygen, carbon and nitrogen in galaxies of different morphological type by adopting detailed chemical evolution models with different star formation histories (continuous…
Metal Abundances in Extremely Distant Galactic Old Open Clusters. I. Berkeley 29 and Saurer 1
- G. Carraro, F. Bresolin, S. Villanova, F. Matteucci, F. Patat, M. Romaniello
- Physics
- 30 June 2004
We report on high-resolution spectroscopy of four giant stars in the Galactic old open clusters Berkeley 29 and Saurer 1 obtained with HIRES at the Keck Telescope. These two clusters possess the…
