On the Significance of the Thick Disks of Disk Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Thick disks are a prevalent feature observed in numerous disk galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Their significance has been reported to vary widely, ranging from a few percent to 100% of the disk mass, depending on the galaxy and the measurement ...

Aeos: The Impact of Population III Initial Mass Function and Star-by-star Models in Galaxy Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the effect of variations in the Population III initial mass function (IMF) and star-by-star feedback on early galaxy formation and evolution using the A eos simulations. We compare simulations with two different Population III IMFs: M _char  =

Many Elements Matter: Detailed Abundance Patterns Reveal Star Formation and Enrichment Differences among Milky Way Structural Components

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Many nucleosynthetic channels create the elements, but two-parameter models characterized by α and Fe nonetheless predict stellar abundances in the Galactic disk to accuracies of 0.02–0.05 dex for most measured elements, near the level of current ...
