The<i>Gaia</i>-ESO Survey: radial distribution of abundances in the Galactic disc from open clusters and young-field stars

Abstract

Context. The spatial distribution of elemental abundances in the disc of our Galaxy gives insights both on its assembly process and subsequent evolution, and on the stellar nucleogenesis of the different elements. Gradients can be traced using several types of objects as, for instance, (young and old) stars, open clusters, HII regions, planetary nebulae.
