Introduction of Chemical Evolution of Galaxies (theoretical)
Chiaki Kobayashi (Univ. of Hertfordshire)
I will introduce galactic chemical evolution models and simulations, and how chemical abundances are used for Galactic and extra-galaxies studies. I will also briefly mention the observations of metallicities and elemental abundance ratios of star-forming and early-type galaxies. Similar observations will be available at high redshifts with James Webb Space Telescope, which will provide a strong constraint on the formation and evolutionary histories of galaxies.
