Scientific paper

Effects of mass loss on the chemical evolution of disk galaxies are considered. Simple open one-zone model with star formation regulated by ionization of interstellar gas by massive stars and supernova explosions is used to follow the chemical evolution of a disk galaxy. The one-zone model explains the main features of the Milky Way structure and its chemical composition (the stellar metallicity distribution, the dependence of Z-abundance on the height above the galactic disk, and the observed relation [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] for halo and disk stars). Our model reproduces qualitatively the observed correlation of mass and metallicity for the galaxies with different masses. The role of disk galaxies in the enrichment of the intracluster medium is discussed.
