Análisis de la evolución química de los cúmulos abiertos de la Galaxia a través de simulaciones dinámicas con procesos de destrucción

Abstract

It is well known that open clusters are excellent tracers (in time and space) of the metallicity of the Galactic disk. We analyze the history of stellar formation of the Galactic disk using numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution of the open cluster system. We have included the effects of cluster disruption caused by stellar evolution, tidal fields, and the interaction with the spiral arms. We model the present astrophysical properties of open clusters from initial hypothesis regarding their formation history
