Chemically Consistent Evolutionary Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
To account for the range of stellar metallicities in local galaxies and for the increasing importance of low metallicities at higher redshift we present chemically consistent models for the spectral and chemical evolution of galaxies over cosmological timescales. We discuss advantages, limitations and future prospects of our approach.

Chemically Consistent Evolutionary Synthesis Modelling of Galaxies
We present our chemically consistent GALEV Evolutionary Synthesis models for galaxies and point out differences to previous generations of models and their effects on the interpretation of local and high-redshift galaxy data.
متن کاملChemically Consistent Evolutionary Synthesis Models
Any stellar system with a star formation history (SFH) more extended than a massive star’s lifetime will be composite in metallicity. Our method of chemically consistent evolutionary synthesis tries to account for the increasing initial metallicity of successive generations of stars. Using various sets of input physics for a range of metallicities 10 ≤ Z ≤ 0.05 we keep track of the ISM enrichme...
متن کاملModelling Tools: Population and Evolutionary Synthesis
I review the basic concepts for the spectrophotometric and chemical evolution of galaxies, contrast various approaches and discuss their respective advantages and shortcomings, both for the interpretation of nearby and high redshift galaxies. Focus is on recent attempts to include gas and dust into galaxy evolution models and to account for the links among stars, gas and dust. Chemically consis...
متن کاملInterpreting the galaxy group CG J1720-67.8 through evolutionary synthesis models
This paper is part of a series devoted to a detailed analysis of the properties of the compact group CG J1720-67.8 and its member galaxies with the aim of shedding light on its evolutionary history. Here we interpret our previously published observational results through comparison with chemically consistent spectrophotometric evolutionary synthesis models to gain further clues to the evolution...

We have compiled all available data on chemical abundances in damped Lyman alpha absorption systems for comparison with results from our combined chemical and spectrophotometric galaxy evolution models. Preliminary results from chemically consistent calculations are in agreement with observations of damped Lyα systems. 1 Models of galaxy evolution Our model is most briefly described as kind of ...
