STAR FORMATION HISTORY IN THE GALACTIC THIN DISK

We analyze the relations between the relative magnesium abundances in stars, [Mg/Fe], and their metallicities, Galactic orbital elements, and ages. The relative magnesium abundances in metal-poor thin-disk stars have been found to systematically decrease with increasing stellar orbital radii. This b...
