| الوصف: | Nuclear Stellar Discs have been observed in the vast majority of barred disc galaxies including the Milky Way. Their intense star formation is sustained by the intense gas inflows driven by their surrounding bars and frequently supports a large-scale galactic fountain. Despite their central role in galaxy evolution, their chemical evolution remains largely unexplored. Here we present the first systematic, multizonal modelling of the chemical evolution of these nuclear stellar discs. We argue that the chemical composition of nuclear stellar discs is best understood relative to the bar tips from which their gas is drawn. We make predictions of the detailed abundance profiles within the nuclear stellar disc under different accretion scenarios from the galactic bar and show by which observable differences they can be decided. We show that with their difference to normal disc star formation, nuclear discs offer a unique laboratory to break parameter degeneracies in chemical evolution models. This allows us to identify the effects of the main gas parameters and disentangle them from the global enrichment history. We show this for the example of the ejection fractions from the outer and nuclear disk. Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, submitted to MNRAS |
