This book addresses the mechanism of enrichment of heavy elements
in galaxies, a long standing problem in astronomy. It mainly
focuses on explaining the origin of heavy elements by performing
state-of-the-art, high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of dwarf
galaxies. In this book, the author successfully develops a model of
galactic chemodynamical evolution by means of which the neutron
star mergers can be used to explain the observed abundance pattern
of the heavy elements synthesized by the rapid neutron capture
process, such as europium, gold, and uranium in the Local Group
dwarf galaxies. The book argues that heavy elements are significant
indicators of the evolutionary history of the early galaxies, and
presents theoretical findings that open new avenues to
understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies based on the
abundance of heavy elements in metal-poor stars.
