SUMMARY:Reading the Chemical Evolution of the Fornax dSph
DESCRIPTION:Reading the Chemical Evolution of the Fornax dSph\nMr. Ben Hend
 ricks\n\nDwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the smallest, closest and mo
 st abundant galaxies in the Universe and therefore excellent laboratories 
 to study star formation (SF) history and chemical evolution on the smalles
 tscales. However, the complexity within---and variations between---these o
 bjects are poorly understood, not least because the vast majority of prese
 nt-day data is restricted to the most central regions of these systems.Thu
 s, the scope of this talk is to present the results from our chemodynamica
 l analysis (i.e., combining chemical abundances, stellarages, and precise 
 dynamical measurements from high-resolution spectra) of the outer regions 
 of Fornax and to put them in a general context of the chemical evolution i
 n dSphs and their key-regulating factors. On this basis, possible (and imp
 ossible) evolutionary scenarios for Fornax are discussed and compared with
  model predictions.  Furthermore, Fornax is one amongst very few dSph
 s with an own globular cluster population. In the last part of my talk I u
 se the results from our analysis and discussongoing projects designed to a
 ddress the impact of globular clusters on the evolution of this galaxy, an
 d vice versa.
