Abstract
AbstractAbundance gradients are key parameters to constrain the chemical evolution of the galactic disk. In this review recent determinations for the radial gradient are described, including its slope as derived from different objects such as planetary nebulae, HII regions, cepheids, or B stars, and for different elements. Inner and outer limits for the radial gradient, as well as its time evolution, both related to the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, are also described. The possible existence of azimuthal and vertical gradients is also discussed.
