Present-day nitrogen isotopic ratio in the solar neighbourhood compared to Galactic Chemical Evolution models predictions. Shaded areas: ALMA measurements of the CN/C15N and HCN/HC15N ratios in TW Hya and MWC 480 respectively. Symbols: directly measured ratios (i.e. not using double-isotopic ratios) in the present-day solar neighbourhood at rG = 8.5(10) kpc (references are provided in Table D.1). Black curves: GCE model predictions Romano & Matteucci (2003) scaled to a PSN ratio of ℛ⊙ = 441, with 15N as a primary (full line, their model 2) or secondary product (dashed lines, their models 3s an 3n). Blue curve: GCE model 2 including a 2 kpc outward Sun migration (see the text for details). The weighted average isotopic ratios in comets of 144(3) (see also Fig. A.1) and of 111(19), from H13CN/HC15N observations in 5 disks (Guzmán et al. 2017), are also indicated.
