We describe the use of our chemical evolution model to reproduce the abundance patterns observed in a catalogue of elliptical galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4. The model assumes ellipticals form by fast gas accretion, and suf... Read More about The effects of the initial mass function on the chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies.

New analytical solutions for chemical evolution models: characterizing the population of star-forming and passive galaxies (2017)
Journal Article
Spitoni, E., Vincenzo, F., & Matteucci, F. (2017). New analytical solutions for chemical evolution models: characterizing the population of star-forming and passive galaxies. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 599, Article A6. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201629745

Context. Analytical models of chemical evolution, including inflow and outflow of gas, are important tools for studying how the metal content in galaxies evolves as a function of time. Aims. We present new analytical solutions for the evolution of t...
