Description
Heavier elements then helium are created inside stars; alpha elements are mainly produced from core-collapse supernovae, while the majority of iron-peak elements are from Type Ia supernovae. Neutron-capture elements are produced from AGB stars, electron-capture supernovae, magneto-rotational supernovae, and neutron-star megers. Mass loss from AGB stars and (rotating) massive stars produce a significant fraction of C, N, F, and minor isotopes of O and Mg, as well as the slow-neutron capture elements. I will summarize the origin of stable elements using my Galactic chemical evolution model, and discuss the roles of stellar rotation. I will then show predictions from chemodynamical simulations of Milky Way type galaxies, compare with observational data from the galactic archaeology surveys, and discuss the effects of the stellar migrations and metal flows during galaxy formation.
