Scientific paper

The aim of this paper is to present some theoretical results concerning nitrogen evolution relative to C, O and Fe, obtained by means of a complete chemical-evolution model (no instantaneous recycling approximation) for the solar neighbourhood and to compare them with the model predictions already obtained for extragalactic H II regions. On the basis of this, the author discusses how different star formation modes (bursts and continuous) can affect nitrogen evolution. The author also interprets observational data of solar-neighbourhood stars as well as galactic and extragalactic H II regions, in order to verify and extend the previous suggestions by Matteucci and Tosi (1985) on the nature of nitrogen and on how the primary/secondary distinction can affect the model predictions.
