Contribution of astrophysical events to the chemical evolution of a dwarf irregular galaxy.

FUKAGAWA N. and PRANTZOS N.

Abstract (from CDS):

We study the contribution of various astrophysical events asymptotic giant branch (AGB stars, core collapse and thermonuclear supernovae, neutron star mergers, and collapsars) to the abundances of elements both up to and heavier than the iron peak in a Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy, Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM). Its star formation history has been recently determined by observations with the JWST, and we use it to estimate the occurrence of the astrophysical sources. The rates of the gas accretion and the outflow are roughly determined based on the stellar metallicity distribution, the oxygen abundance of H II regions, and the gas fraction. As discussed in the literature, the difference in time-scales on which the astrophysical events release the nucleosynthesis products is seen in the occurrence of the events and the evolution of abundance ratios. WLM has an extended star formation history and massive stars are recently and currently formed. Thus, the contribution of rotating massive stars through the weak s-process appears in the abundance ratios of light trans-iron elements to iron at later time of the evolution.
