An Analytic Model for Stellar Metallicity Gradient Residuals in Cold, Phase-Mixed Galactic Disks
Shaunak Modak, Zoe Hackshaw, Keith Hawkins
The distribution of stellar metallicities over phase space in galactic disks is sculpted by both star formation and secular orbital transport processes. As a result, chemo-dynamica…

Interstellar Medium-Driven Orbital Transport -- I. Radial Heating and Migration
Shaunak Modak, Chris Hamilton, Eve C. Ostriker +1
Interstellar medium (ISM) structures gravitationally perturb stellar orbits in galactic disks, driving orbital heating and migration. However, studies of these transport processes…
