Modern yields per stellar generation: the effect of the IMF (2015)
Journal Article
Vincenzo, F., Matteucci, F., Belfiore, F., & Maiolino, R. (2016). Modern yields per stellar generation: the effect of the IMF. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 455(4), 4183–4190. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2598

Gaseous and stellar metallicities in galaxies are nowadays routinely used to constrain the evolutionary processes in galaxies. This requires the knowledge of the average yield per stellar generation, $y_{\text{Z}}$, i.e. the quantity of metals that a...

The IGIMF and other IMFs in dSphs: the case of Sagittarius (2015)
Journal Article
Vincenzo, F., Matteucci, F., Recchi, S., Calura, F., McWilliam, A., & A. Lanfranchi, G. (2015). The IGIMF and other IMFs in dSphs: the case of Sagittarius. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 449(2), 1327–1339. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv357

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.
