Abstract

Aims.We study the chemical evolution of spiral bulges hosting Seyfert nuclei, based on updated chemical and spectro-photometrical evolution models for the bulge of our Galaxy, to make predictions about other quantities measured in Seyferts and to model the photometric features of local bulges. The chemical evolution model contains updated and detailed calculations of the Galactic potential and of the feedback from the central supermassive black hole, and the spectro-photometric model covers a wide range of stellar ages and metallicities.
