Chemical Evolution of the Galactic Disk and Bulge
Published 1994-12-19Version 1
Invited Review at IAU Symp 164 on Stellar Populations. The Milky Way Galaxy offers a unique opportunity for testing theories of galaxy formation and evolution. The study of the spatial distribution, kinematics and chemical abundances of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy allows one to address specific questions pertinent to this meeting such as When was the Galaxy assembled? Is this an ongoing process? What was the merging history of the Milky Way?
