Galaxy, Chemical Composition

Scientific paper

A review of the chemical composition of our Galaxy - the Milky Way - is presented. In addition to the well-known facts, such as dominance of hydrogen and helium over the heavy elements, etc, it should be emphasized that undoubtedly there is a correlation between the fraction of the heavy elements and the spatial distribution. On the other hand, though it seems possible, the existence of a negative gradient (decrease) in the mean metal fraction, for any subsystem of the Milky Way, is still uncertain. From this may arise additional complications concerning, say, the age-metallicity relation.
