The nucleosynthetic inventories of the various elements increase the metallicity of the interstellar medium (ISM) in such a manner that it acquires a value of 0.014 at the time of formation of the solar system around ~4.56 Ga ago from an initial null value at the time of formation of Milky Way galaxy. The elemental as well as isotopic abundances evolution has been simulated for the galaxy. In order to develop the GCE models for galaxy, we incorporated the deduced accretion history of galaxy, the star formation rate (SFR), the stellar initial mass function (IMF), the supernovae rates, the stellar nucleosynthetic yields and the stellar evolutionary theories for different stellar masses and metallicities. |
