The metallicity enrichment history (MEH) of a galaxy is determined by its star formation history (SFH) and the gas cycling process. In this paper, we construct a chemical evolution model that is regulated by the SFH of the system. In this…

A simple chemical enrichment model for cluster early-type galaxies is described in which the mechanisms considered in the evolutionary model are infall of primordial gas, outflows and a possible variation in the star formation efficiency.…
Gas flows play a fundamental role in galaxy formation and evolution, providing the fuel for the star formation process. These mechanisms leave an imprint in the amount of heavy elements. Thus, the analysis of this metallicity signature…
