Chemical and Dynamical History of the Milky Way
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
F-G dwarf stars of different metallicity are used as tracers of chemical and dynamical history of the Galaxy. Observed ratios of element abundances “[X/Fe] versus [Fe/H]” (where “X” is a some of chemical element) are compared with theoretical ones and allow us to make the choice between models (or parameters of theoretical models) of the Galaxy chemical evolution, nucleosynthesis and processes of star formation. Our experience has shown (Bikmaev, 1991, 1994a,b; Bikmaev et al., 1990) that in some cases classical approaches in abundance determination are affected by methodical uncertainties and the spread in [X/Fe] ratios may be large even if high quality spectra used.
