Disentangling chemistry from dynamics<br />

• We assume an old stellar population (no star<br />

formation, no stellar evolution)<br />

• Each particle in <strong>the</strong> initial configuration is<br />

tagged with a [Fe/H] label, according to <strong>the</strong><br />

initial chemical radial distribution of Spitoni &<br />

Matteucci (2011) based on Chiappini et al.<br />

(2007)<br />

• we wish to follow <strong>the</strong> redistribution of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>metallicity</strong> inside <strong>the</strong> <strong>disk</strong> due to radial mixing.
