The Chemical Evolution of the Milky Way Disk
Space Science Reviews, 1997Abstract The chemical evolution of the disk of our Galaxy is studied with numerical models assuming infall and a radially varying star formation rate (SFR). We propose a model with a minimal set of physically plausible assumptions which satisfies the main observational constraints of the disk, including those of the solar neighborhood.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013
We present a review of formation of the Milky Way's disk(s). We discuss the most recent disk formation and evolution scenarios that can be probed by the orbital eccentricities of stellar populations. These scenarios are included in two different frames, namely violent origin and secular evolution.

The Evolution of the Milky Way Disk
2000The Milky Way is a heterogeneous system, with at least three components (halo, bulge, disk) having very different chemical, photometric and kinematical properties. A reliable model for the evolution of the Milky Way accounting for those properties does not exist at present.

Chemical evolution in the Milky Way Disk
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006Classical models of galactic evolution predict a smooth rise in heavy‐element abundance (metallicity) with time. We test this prediction with a new, large and unbiased sample of long‐lived stars in the solar neighbourhood and find that several of the key tests fail to support the classical predictions.

Smooth X-rays Fill the Milky Way's Disk
Science, 2001X-rays from the plane of our galaxy have exposed a hot spine of energy sizzling among the stars. But astrophysicists are mystified by blurs that point to processes they don9t yet understand. According to a report published online this week by Science (www.sciencexpress.org), new telescopes trained on the region haven9t spotted any obvious x-ray
