Descripción
We map the trends of elemental abundance ratios across the Galactic
disk, spanning R=3{--}15 {kpc} and midplane distance | Z| =0{--}2 {kpc},
for 15 elements in a sample of 20,485 stars measured by the SDSS/APOGEE
survey (O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). Adopting
Mg rather than Fe as our reference element, and separating stars into
two populations based on [Fe/Mg], we find that the median trends of
[X/Mg] versus [Mg/H] in each population are nearly independent of
location in the Galaxy. The full multi-element cartography can be
summarized by combining these nearly universal median sequences with our
measured metallicity distribution functions and the relative proportions
of the low-[Fe/Mg] (high-α) and high-[Fe/Mg] (low-α)
populations, which depend strongly on R and | Z| . We interpret the
median sequences with a semi-empirical “two-process” model
that describes both the ratio of core collapse and Type Ia supernova (SN
Ia) contributions to each element and the metallicity dependence of the
supernova yields. These observationally inferred trends can provide
strong tests of supernova nucleosynthesis calculations. Our results lead
to a relatively simple picture of abundance ratio variations in the
Milky Way, in which the trends at any location can be described as the
sum of two components with relative contributions that change
systematically and smoothly across the Galaxy. Deviations from this
picture and future extensions to other elements can provide further
insights into the physics of stellar nucleosynthesis and unusual events
in the Galaxy’s history.

Nucleosíntesis y procesos moleculares en los últimos estados de la evolución estelar
Las estrellas de masa baja e intermedia (M < 8 masas solares, Ms) representan la mayoría de estrellas en el Cosmos y terminan sus vidas en la Rama Asintótica de las Gigantes (AGB) - justo antes de formar Nebulosas Planetarias (NPs) - cuando experimentan procesos nucleosintéticos y moleculares complejos. Las estrellas AGB son importantes

Abundancias Químicas en Estrellas
La espectroscopía de estrellas nos permite determinar las propiedades y composiciones químicas de las mismas. A partir de esta información para estrellas de diferente edad en la Vía Láctea es posible reconstruir la evolución química de la Galaxia, así como el origen de los elementos más pesados que el boro, forjados principalmente en los interiores
