The history of stellar metallicity in a simulated disc galaxy
Abstract
We explore the chemical distribution of stars in a simulated galaxy. Using simulations of the same initial conditions but with two different feedback schemes (McMaster Unbiased Galaxy Simulations – MUGS – and Making Galaxies in a Cosmological Context – MaGICC), we examine the features of the age–metallicity relation (AMR), and the three-dimensional age–[Fe/H]–[O/Fe] distribution, both for the galaxy as a whole and decomposed into disc, bulge, …
