Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal
  We explore a range of chemical evolution models for the Local Group dwarf
spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, Carina. A novel aspect of our work is the removal of
the star formation history (SFH) as a `free parameter' in the modeling, making
use, instead, of its colour-magnitude diagram (CMD)-constrained SFH. By varying
the relative roles of galactic winds, re-accretion, and ram-pressure stripping
within the modeling, we converge on a favoured scenario which emphasises the
respective roles of winds and re-accretion. While our model is successful in
recovering most elemental abundance patterns, comparable success is not found
for all the neutron capture elements. Neglecting the effects of stripping
results in predicted gas fractions approximately two orders of magnitude too
high, relative to that observed.
