What are we looking for?• We are looking for some signs to know if dwarf galaxies
lose some of their gas or not.
How do we looking for it?
• Our aim is to have a large amount of model results (in an autoconsistent way) to obtain the maximum number of clues.
• We analized: gas content, metallicity and photometry and compare them with observations.
A short review
Galactic Chemical Evolution Model
Grid of models
Galactic Chemical Evolution Model
The free parameters are: • the collapse time: Tcol• the efficiency in forming molecular clouds:
• the efficiency in transform the clouds into stars: h
The SFR is a RESULT not an INPUT
There are no STAR BURSTS: the star forming process is continuous, but not constant
Grid of ModelsMass interval: Six values
From 8 106 M to 3 109M
Collapse time: Four values
From 8 Gyr to 60 Gyr
Star Formation Parameters: Four valuesS, M, L, XL
TOTAL GRID: 96 Models

CONCLUSIONS• Our models present an effective yield without gas
outflow according with most observations.
• The models with high efficiency give too much high abundances. It is possible that they do not match with any observations.
• In the case of IIZw70 we reproduce the SFR and the (O/H) value with no star burst .
• …but the gas content needs additional explanation.
