Enrichment history of the r-process element Eu in the Galaxy predicted by our models of chemical evolution, into which NSM events are incorporated as the production site of r-process elements. The results are compared with the observed Galactic data in the solar vicinity denoted by crosses (Suda et al. 2008). Two stars marked by yellow circles (belonging to the Galactic bulge/the Ursa Minor dSph) are added to the figure; they exhibit unusually high Eu/Fe ratios at moderate metallicities (Johnson et al. 2013). The Eu/Fe-Fe/H correlations for the Galactic halo that result from our model are represented by three typical components with different colors. The three components correspond to stars born from protogalactic fragments with different masses – small (green), moderate (red), and massive (blue). In addition, the calculated evolutionary paths for the Galactic thick and thin disks are shown by the blue and red curves, respectively.
