Chemical evolution of Elliptical Galaxies and the ICM

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present a new model for the chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies taking into account SN feedback, detailed nucleosynthesis and galactic winds. We discuss the effect of galactic winds on the chemical enrichment of the ICM and compute the energy per particle injected by the galaxies into the ICM.
