Abstract.
We present three dimensional hydrodynamical simulations aimed at studying the dynamical
and chemical evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) in isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies
(dSphs). This evolution is driven by the explosion of Type II and Type Ia supernovae, whose
different contribution on both the dynamics and chemical enrichment is taken into account.
Radiative losses are effective in radiating away the huge amount of energy released by SNe
explosions, and the dSph is able to retain most of the gas allowing a long period ( 2? 3 Gyr)
of star formation, as usually observed in this kind of galaxies. We are able to reproduce the stellar
metallicity distribution function (MDF) as well as the peculiar chemical properties of strongly
O-depleted stars observed in several dSphs. The model also naturally predicts two different
stellar populations, with an anti-correlation between [Fe/H] and velocity dispersion, similarly to
what observed in the Sculptor and Fornax dSphs. These results derive from the inhomogeneous
pollution of the SNe Ia, a distinctive characteristic of our model. We also applied the model to
the peculiar globular cluster (GC) ω Cen in the hypothesis that it is the remnant of a formerly
larger stellar system, possibly a dSph.
