Analysis of correlations between chemical abundances and orbital inclination. Panel a: yttrium abundance with respect to europium as a function of iron abundance for Milky Way globular clusters (large circles) and field stars (squares for a metal-poor sample (Roederer et al. 2014), diamonds, stars, and crosses for an intermediate-metallicity compilation (Fishlock et al. 2017) of high [Mg/Fe], low [Mg/Fe] and thick disc stars, respectively). The colour code is based on the [Y/Eu] departures from the standard value (black line). Panel b: [Mg/Fe] abundance ratio with respect to iron for the previous objects, when available, and a compilation of high transversal velocity stars from APOGEE. The colour code selects groups with different [Mg/Fe] turnovers (thus parent system masses). Panels c, d: distributions of orbital inclinations for the groups selected with the [Y/Eu] and [Mg/Fe] criteria, respectively.
