The predicted metallicity distribution of stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies

We predict the metallicity distribution of stars and the age–metallicity relation for six dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies of the Local Group by means of a chemical evolution model that is able to reproduce several observed abundance ratios, and the present-day total mass and gas content of these ga...
