Rising from the Ashes. II. The Bar-driven Abundance Bimodality of the Milky Way

The Milky Way hosts at least two modes in its present-day distribution of Fe and α -elements. The exact cause of this bimodality is disputed, but one class of explanations involves the merger between the Milky Way and a relatively massive satellite (Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus) at z ∼ 2. However, reprod...
