银河系的银盘、银晕、核球的平均金属丰度为-0.2,-1.6,-0.2。 年龄--金属丰度关系给出了银河系形成和演化的线索。为了解释观 测的年龄--金属丰度关系及其弥散,银河系化学演化模型必须考虑 恒星轨道运动、非瞬时混合等机制。
The average values of metallicity in the disk, the halo, and Galactic bulge are -0.2, -1.6, and -0.2 dex respectively. The age-metallicity relation (AMR) provides useful clues about the Galactic formation and evolution. In order to explain observed AMR and its scatter, mechanisms of diffusion of stellar orbits and non-instantaneous mixing must be considered in Galactic chemical evolution models.
