The chemical evolution of the Magellanic Clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
The chemical and structural evolution of the Magellanic Clouds are compared with those of the Galaxy. Simple models with gas infall and bimodal star formation are assumed, and are constrained by the most recent observational data. The evolution of the gas content, and the He, C, O and Fe abundances are all successfully modelled. The abundance of N is, however, predicted too high, and the apparent ages of the oldest star clusters are inconsistent with the simple model.
