Table 1: Characteristics of the chosen DM halos.
Table 2: Model parameters. In the first column is the number of the model, in the second one the adopted infall law, in the third the time scale for the halo, in the fourth that for the disk and in the fifth the type of infalling gas. All the models adopt a threshold gas density for star formation in the disk of $7~M_{\odot}~{\rm pc}^{-2}$ . The model by Naab & Ostriker (2006) is the only one that has a threshold also during the formation of the halo. Note that our best cosmological model is Model 5.
Table 3: Current values for all the models and observed values as reported in Boissier & Prantzos (1999) and Chiappini et al. (2001).
Table 4: Current values for all the models and observed values as reported in Boissier & Prantzos (1999) and Chiappini et al. (2001).
