Turning points in the age-metallicity relations - Created by late satellite infall and enhanced by radial migration

The present-day age-metallicity relation (AMR) is a record of the star formation history of galaxies, as this traces the chemical enrichment of the gas over time. We use a zoomed-in cosmological simulation that reproduces key signatures of the Milky Way (MW), g2.79e12 from the NIHAO-UHD project, to...
