We follow <strong>the</strong> chemical<br />
redistribution of an initial<br />
assigned <strong>metallicity</strong><br />
gradient:<br />
panel 1 shows <strong>the</strong> initial<br />
gradient over all <strong>the</strong> <strong>disk</strong><br />
taken from Chen et al<br />
(2009).<br />
In panel 2 we show as <strong>the</strong><br />
dynamical evolution of such<br />
gradient produces (in <strong>the</strong><br />
solar annulus (8-10 kpc))a<br />
velocity-<strong>metallicity</strong><br />
<strong>correlation</strong> similar to <strong>the</strong><br />
ones shown in Shonrich and<br />
Binney (2009) (panels 3 and<br />
4)<br />
