Star formation and metal enrichment histories for MW-sisters galaxies. The upper panel is dedicated to the star formation history, the central and lower panels to the evolution of the oxygen abundance (12 + log (O / H)) and of the iron abundance ([Fe/H]) in the disk. In each panel, the light colour curves show the individual evolution of our 54 MW-sisters galaxies. The median trends of these evolutions are represented with a solid line. Our results are compared to the results of different detailed chemical evolution models of the MW galaxy: Mollá & Díaz (2005) (dot-dashed line), Boissier et al. (2010) (dashed lined) and Kubryk et al. (2015) (circles connected with a dashed line).
