  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: ESO Astrophysics Symposia ((ESO))

Abstract

A review on ΔY/ΔZ and ΔY/ΔO determinations is presented. Results based on galactic and extragalactic gaseous nebulae are analyzed. The temperature structure of the gaseous nebulae is taken into account as well as the fraction of O atoms tied up in dust grains. The best galactic and extragalactic determinations of ΔY/ΔO are compared with chemical evolution models of the solar vicinity and of metal poor galaxies. The relevance of this comparison to the presence of: black holes, different types of galactic outflows and temperature inhomogeneities in H II regions is discussed.
