Chemical Abundance Patterns in the Local Dwarf Galaxies in the CDM Universe
Abstract
We present chemical properties of dwarf galaxies in a semi-analytic galaxy formation model. We find a good match with observations of the Local dwarf spheroidals. The supernova feedback is a key to understanding the different metal abundances of the Local Group dwarf spheroidals from those associated with the Milky Way.
