MDFs are used to test different theories of galactic evolution. Much of the iron in a star will have come from earlier type Ia [[supernova]]e. Other [alpha] metals can be produced in core collapse supernovae.<ref>[http://www.astro.bas.bg/~petrov/holzman07_files/ay616/node5.html Chemical evolution models]</ref><ref>{{cite webarXiv |urlarxiv=http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.2168 |title=<nowiki>The [Fe/H], [C/Fe], and [alpha/Fe] distributions of the Bootes I Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy</nowiki>}}</ref>
