Ability to recover Rbirth for subhalo 560751 with age and [Fe/H] uncertainties added (15% and 0.05 dex respectively). Left: The age–metallicity relation for this subhalo with the true evolution of = 0 kpc, τ) (black line) and estimated evolution assuming the projected galactic center is always increasing in [Fe/H] (red line). The second, third, and right panels show the Rbirth distributions for mono-age populations of solar neighborhood (7.75 ≤ R ≤ 8.25) stellar particles for the true Rbirth, Rbirth inferred using the true
= 0 kpc, τ) (InferreddecRbirth), and Rbirth inferred using the monotonically increasing
= 0 kpc, τ) (InferredincRbirth) respectively. Inappropriately assuming a monotonically increasing metallicity abundance in the galactic center provides Rbirth distributions that are non-physical and do not match the true distributions, whereas using the true
= 0 kpc, τ) evolution provides a more accurate trend in how Rbirth decreases with increasing age. Examining the Rbirth distributions of mono-age populations in the solar neighborhood is thus a necessity in constraining
= 0 kpc, τ) evolution.
