Unraveling the History of Galaxies through Chemical Signatures
Abstract: The chemical abundances found in stellar populations and the interstellar medium of galaxies offer invaluable information regarding their assembly histories and the mechanisms that influence star formation and element mixing.
In this presentation, we will present the comprehensive analysis results of chemical abundances in star-forming regions of galaxies, investigating how these characteristics vary concerning their merger and accretion histories. Furthermore, we will explore the information preserved by young stars to unveil the effects of significant events on the recent history, utilizing hydrodynamical cosmological simulations.
