Fig. 6.

Time evolution of the stellar mass relative to the ISM mass. The filled circle with error-bars is an estimate in the solar neighborhood, taken from Naab and Ostriker (2006) and references therein. Note that the stellar mass includes the mass of remnants. The present age of the Milky Way should be less than the age of the Universe (13.7 Gyr). The four lines correspond to the model evolutions as in Fig. 4.
