Final Remarks: Connections between Chemical and Dynamical Evolution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Dynamical processes strongly affect the chemical enrichment of gas in galaxies, so abundances in stars and the Interstellar medium can be used as probes of the dynamical history of the Galaxy. By way of tying together some diverse points, rather than summarizing the conference, I shall discuss some examples of connections between chemical and dynamical evolution. The first section of this paper mentions some of the well-known ways in which dynamical processes can affect chemical evolution, in order to outline a theoretical background to the use of abundances as clues to dynamics.
