We model gas-phase metallicity radial profiles of galaxies in the local Universe by building on the ‘bathtub’ chemical evolution formalism – where a galaxy’s gas content is determined by the interplay between inflow, star formation, and outflows. In... Read More about From ‘bathtub’ galaxy evolution models to metallicity gradients.
