The chemical evolution of the Milky Way : from light to heavy elements
Abstract
We present results for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way including predictions for elements from Deuterium to Europium. A comparison with the most accurate and recent data allows us to draw important conclusions on stellar nucleosynthesis processes as well as on mechanisms of galaxy formation.
