We have studied the effects of various initial mass functions (IMFs) on the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr). In particular, we tested the effects of the integrated galactic initial mass function (IGIMF) on various predicted a... Read More about The IGIMF and other IMFs in dSphs: the case of Sagittarius.

Chemical evolution of classical and ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies (2014)
Journal Article
Vincenzo, F., Matteucci, F., Vattakunnel, S., & A. Lanfranchi, G. (2014). Chemical evolution of classical and ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 441(4), 2815–2830. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu710

We present updated chemical evolution models of two dwarf spheroidal galaxies (Sculptor and Carina) and the first detailed chemical evolution models of two ultra-faint dwarfs (Hercules and Bo\"otes I). Our results suggest that the dwarf spheroidals e... Read More about Chemical evolution of classical and ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies.
