Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Since shortly after the Big Bang only H, He, and a few lighter elements were produced, the further production of heavier elements iby means of stellar processes is responsible for the present-day element abundances. Therefore, the COSMIC CHEMICAL EVOLUTIOPN serves as one fundamental cornerstone of the evolution of the universe and its structures.
By means of stellar evolutionary models the nucleosynthesis of elements can be understood. Their release by various stellar mass-loss processes on different timescales enrich the interstellar medium (ISM) in its gas phases differently by these elements and, by this, the next stellar populations. Spectral observations of stars of different ages e.g. within the Mikly Way and in galaxies of variuos masses allow insights into timescales and amounts of element enrichments and though into the evolution of stellar and gaseous components. In addition, the observed ISM provides the actual chemical state which; however, is affected by gasdynamical effects.
Based on simple chemical evolutionary recipes, that include the so-called element yields, observational signatures of element abundances and abundance ratios will be studied and differences between galaxies compared with advanced dynamical evolutionary models.
The lecture will be held in English.

Assessment and permitted materials

An active participation and contributions are welcome.
Selected topics from the literature on nucleosynthesis, stellar mass loss, and galaxy evolution will be prepared by the students and presented to the participants.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Continuous attendance, one presentation at least, and lively participation.
Presence in the courses of >75%, active contributions during the courxe, and self-sustained presentations of actual topics from the literature.

Examination topics

No separate exam, but questions from the context to be answered.

Reading list

Will be given during the lecture.
