APOGEE-DR16/APOKASC high/low-{alpha} disc stars
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The detailed age-chemical abundance relations of stars measure time-dependent chemical evolution.
Description
These trends offer strong empirical constraints on nucleosynthetic processes, as well as the homogeneity of star-forming gas. Characterizing chemical abundances of stars across the Milky Way over time has been made possible very recently, thanks to surveys like Gaia, APOGEE, and Kepler.
Studies of the low-{alpha} disc have shown that individual elements have unique age-abundance trends and the intrinsic dispersion around these relations is small. In this study, we examine and compare the age distribution of stars across both the high and low-{alpha} disc and quantify the intrinsic dispersion of 16 elements around their age-abundance relations at [Fe/H] = 0 using APOGEE DR16. We examine the age-metallicity relation and visualize the temporal and spatial distribution of disc stars in small chemical cells.

We find: (1) the high-{alpha} disc has shallower age-abundance relations compared to the low-{alpha} disc, but similar median intrinsic dispersions of ~0.03 dex; (2) turnover points in the age-[Fe/H] relations across radius for both the high- and low-{alpha} disc. The former constrains the mechanisms that set similar intrinsic dispersions, regardless of differences in the enrichment history, for stars in both disc, and the latter indicates the presence of radial migration in both disc.
Our study is accompanied by an age catalogue for 64317 stars in APOGEE derived using THE CANNON with a median uncertainty of 1.5 Gyr (26 per cent; APO-CAN stars), and a red clump catalogue of 22031 stars with a contamination rate of 2.7 per cent.
