Dear all,


We are pleased to announce a two-day international lecture on "Galactic Chemical Evolution" by Prof. C. Kobayashi (University of Hertfordshire). This lecture is part of the international lecture series sponsored by the JSPS KAKENHI Transformative Research Areas (A) project, "Quantum Matter Science in the Universe Opened Up by Precise Numerical Calculations".

We welcome a broad audience, including PhD students, early-career researchers, and non-specialists interested in stellar nucleosynthesis and galactic chemical evolution.

For more details and the latest information, please visit: https://indico2.riken.jp/e/gce2026


Date: 29–30 Oct. 2026
Venue: Mitaka Campus, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)
           * On-site participation is encouraged, but online participation
              via Zoom will also be available for registrants.
              Please note that online access via Zoom will be provided on a best-effort basis
Registration deadline: 21 Oct. 2026 (JST)


Lecturer: Chiaki Kobayashi (University of Hertfordsire)

Tile: Galactic Chemical Evolution

Abstract: During the Big Bang, only light elements such as hydrogen and helium were produced. Carbon and heavier elements (called metals in astronomy) are created inside stars and are ejected when they die. Iron-peak and neutron-capture elements are further produced by binaries - Type Ia supernovae and neutron star mergers, respectively. These elements are distributed into the interstellar medium, and new stars formed from this gas contain elements produced by previous generations of stars. Therefore, stars are fossils that retain the history of their host galaxy. Detailed elemental abundances of individual stars in the Milky Way have been extremely useful for constraining stellar nucleosynthesis and the origin of elements. Not only metallicities but also elemental abundance ratios evolve in galaxies, which can be used to constrain stellar astrophysics and galaxy evolution.

In our zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way type galaxy, the basic structures of the Galaxy and their stellar populations are reproduced very well; the bulge formed by the assembly of small gas-rich galaxies at high-redshifts has old and high-alpha stellar populations, while the disk formed inside-out with a longer timescale has younger and lower-alpha stellar populations due to the delayed enrichment from Type Ia supernovae, which results in the bimodal distribution of the alpha-to-iron ratios observed in the Milky Way Galaxy and M31 Andromeda Galaxy. For the elements heavier than iron, it is not possible to reproduce observations with neutron star mergers only and the contributions from magneto-rotational supernovae is required.

In large-scale cosmological simulations, including feedback from active galactic nuclei that originate the first stars, chemical and dynamical properties of various types of galaxies are fairly well reproduced. Metallicity is higher in more massive galaxies (leading to the mass-metallicity relation), and at the centre of galaxies (causing metallicity radial gradients), broadly following elemental abundance trends expected by nuclear astrophysics. With the James Webb Space Telescope, unexpected elemental-abundance ratios (namely high N/O) are detected for very high redshift star-forming galaxies, which can be explained with Wolf-Rayet stars under intermittent star formation. Comparing various elemental abundances (CNO, Ne, and Ar) to the galactic chemical evolution models, it will be possible to confirm the dominant enrichment source as well as constraining galaxy formation processes across Cosmic Time.
