Element Abundances and Galactic Chemical Evolution

  • Chapter
The Influence of Binaries on Stellar Population Studies

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 264))

Abstract

Recent developments in the study of element abundances and their impact on our understanding of the evolution of stars and the chemical evolution of the Galaxy are described. In particular, problems that may benefit, or benefit from, work on binary stellar populations are highlighted. These include:

  • different mixing processes in globular cluster and field stars, evidenced by Li and nuclei in the NeNa- and MgA1-cycles.

  • the range of carbon overabundances in metal-poor stars, accompanied by a range of s- and r-process element abundances.

  • the timescale for the evolution of SN la progenitors is poorly known.

  • the production of nitrogen is very poorly understood.

  • the nucleosynthesis of many iron-peak elements are poorly understood.
