Origin of the observed Na-O anti-correlations in globular clusters
Origin of the observed Na-O anti-correlations in globular clusters
I developed chemical evolution models for globular clusters that reproduced Na-O anti-correlation, along with other observed properties (e.g. CMD, population ratio), as well as observed Na abundance spreads in the MW bulge.
