Chemical Evolution of Local Group Galaxies

  • Conference paper
Science with the VLT in the ELT Era

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings ((ASSSP))

  • 923 Accesses

Among the most interesting applications of the VLT and ELT are high-resolution spectral investigations of stars in Local Group galaxies. It is of paramount importance to determine detailed abundances of a variety of chemical elements in these stellar systems to explore their chemical evolution and search for its dependence on global parameters like mass and morphological type. In this contribution we give a short overview of the outstanding observational tasks of the VLT and ELT in the next decades.
