Title: Chemical Evolution and Star Formation History of the Disks of Spiral Galaxies in Local Group

Date: Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Time: 12:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract: Milky Way (MW), M31 and M33 are the only three spiral galaxies in our Local Group. MW and M31 have similar mass, luminosity and morphology, but M33 is only about one tenth of MW in terms of its baryonic mass. Detailed theoretical researches on these three spirals will help us to understand the formation and evolution history of both disk galaxies and Local Group. In this work, we have established a phenomenological chemical evolution model which is similar to the former work on Milky Way disk to investigate the star formation and chemical enrichment history of these three local spirals.
