Left panel: [Fe/H] distribution for stars in the initial model selections (blue and red). Right panel: results of the orbital decomposition. In both panels, the MDF of stars in the simulation snapshot is represented by the grey-filled histogram. The MDFs of the initial selections are biased against relatively metal-rich stars, which is corrected by the orbit superposition modelling. We emphasise that our approach enables the recovery of the complex shape of the MDF, characterized by multiple peaks, including a small fraction of extremely metal-rich stars originating from the centre of the simulated galaxy. This underscores the capability of our method to reconstruct any characteristics (abundances and ages) of stellar populations that are evolutionarily linked to the orbital parameters of stars.
