Tracing the galactic thick disk to solar metallicities.

Abstract (from CDS):

We show that the Galactic thick disk reaches at least solar metallicities and that it experienced strong chemical enrichment during a period of ∼3 Gyr, ending around 8-9 Gyr ago. This finding puts further constraints on the relation and interface between the thin and thick disks and their formation processes. Our results are based on a detailed elemental abundance analysis of 261 kinematically selected F and G dwarf stars in the solar neighborhood: 194 likely members of the thick disk and 67 likely members of the thin disk, in the range -1.3≲[Fe/H]≲+0.4.
