Linking the Metallicity Enrichment History to the Star Formation History: An SFH-regulated Chemical Evolution Model and Its Implications for the Gas Cycling Process
Abstract The metallicity enrichment history (MEH) of a galaxy is determined by its star formation history (SFH) and the gas cycling process. In this paper, we construct a chemical evolution model that is regulated by the SFH of the system. In this SFH-regulated model, the evolution of all other variables, including the MEH, can be determined by the SFH. We test this model on six locally isolated dwarf galaxies covering three dwarf types that were observed by the Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs (LCID) project. The SFHs and MEHs of these LCID galaxies are relatively reliable because they have been measured from deep color–magnitude diagrams that reach the main-sequence turnoff stars with good photometric accuracy. With simple assumptions of the star formation law and the mass-dependent outflows, our SFH-regulated model successfully reproduces the MEHs of all six LCID galaxies from their SFHs, with only one free parameter, the wind efficiency η ∼ 1.0, for all six galaxies. This model provides a physically motivated link that directly connects the SFH and MEH of a galaxy, which will be useful to accommodate into the state-of-the-art stellar population synthesis models to help relieve the nuisance of the heavy degeneracy between the ages and metallicities of the stellar populations.
