Formation and Evolution of the Disk System of the Milky Way: [alpha/Fe] Ratios and Kinematics of the SEGUE G-Dwarf Sample
Young Sun Lee, Timothy C. Beers, Deokkeun An +10
We employ measurements of the [alpha/Fe] ratio derived from low-resolution (R~2000) spectra of 17,277 G-type dwarfs from the SEGUE survey to separate them into likely thin- and thi…

Radial Mixing in Galactic Disks: The Effects of Disk Structure and Satellite Bombardment
Jonathan C. Bird, Stelios Kazantzidis, David H. Weinberg
We use a suite of numerical simulations to investigate the mechanisms and effects of radial migration of stars in disk galaxies like the Milky Way (MW). An isolated, collisionless…
