Chemo - Photometric evolution of star forming disk galaxy

Abstract

The chemical and photometric evolution of star forming disk galaxies is investigated. Numerical simulations of the complex gasdynamical flows are based on our own coding of the Chemo - Dynamical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamical (CD - SPH) approach, which incorporates the effects of star formation. As a first application, the model is used to describe the chemical and photometric evolution of a disk galaxy like the Milky Way.
