The study of radial metallicity gradients in the disc of the Milky Way is a powerful tool to understand the mechanisms that have been acting in the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc. In this proceeding, I will put the eye on some…

We model the abundance gradients in the disk of the Milky Way for several chemical elements (O, Mg, Si, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, Co, V, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr, Ba, La and Eu), and compare our results with the most recent and homogeneous observational…

Metallicity gradients derived from planetary nebulae (PNe) using O, Ne, and Ar abundances are studied and compared to those from HII regions in the galaxies M31, M33, NGC 300 and the Milky Way. Galactocentric radii and chemical abundances…
