AMR reconstruction. All model predictions shown here are generated with the best-fit parameters of MCMC1 model (Sect. 5). Left: normalised CMDFs of the high- and low-α APOGEE RC samples. Grey crosses show the smoothed data, thick black lines are the ‘deconvolved’ CMDFs (see text), and the full coloured lines illustrate the result of the convolution of the ‘deconvolved’ CMDF with Gaussian kernels. Middle: modelled CADFs for the thin and thick disk RC populations. Right: resulting AMR for the thin and thick disk. Analytic fits are over-plotted with black dashed curves.
