Disk Galaxies
- Disk galaxies are ubiquitous Majority of blue galaxies and up to ~85% of red galaxies (e.g. ATLAS3D, Emsellem+2011)
- Found at a range of stellar mass 107~1011.5 M
sun
- Majority contain bars 50–75% in the near IR (Knapen 1999; Eskridge et al. 2000)
- Majority of massive blue galaxies likely contain both bars and spiral structure
- Generally thought to form inside-out (e.g. Fall & Efstathiou 1980)Recently being reconsidered...

Star Formation & Heating/Movement
Range of ways to heat stars tomake orbits more eccentric 1) interaction bar structure2) bouncing off molecular cloud3) feedback from star formation4) satellite accretion5) dark matter sub halo heating
only one mechanism thatchanges the guiding center with-out signifcantly kinematicallyheating stars: radial migration.
Stars in disk galaxies are traditionally thought to stay close to their guiding center of formation;

Radial Migration
Transient spirals can rearrange orbital angular momentum without causing kinematic heating.
Sellwood & Binney 2002
Questions for galaxy evolution:- (How) does it affect disk structure? Thick disk? Outer disk?- Can it smooth rotation curve? Change surface density profle?- Role in vertical and radial metallicity profles?
- Has radial migration signifcantly impacted the Milky Way?- Could the Sun have radially migrated?- Modify "galactic habitable zone?"
Reconsider where life could form?

corotation - where the circular orbital frequency of thedisk equals the spiral pattern speed
Physics of Radial Migration
Orbital frequency slower than spiral pattern speed => drifts behind

Motivation Radial Migration is a very cool dynamical effectWe'd like to know how much its influenced the MW
ProblemPresent day kinematics (orbital eccentricity)doesn't give us an obvious way to find migrators
Solution Look to other (immutable) quantities.

Valid theory of disk formation must reproduced APOGEE results
A successful theory of MW disk formation must:
● Shift the MDF skewness in the mid-plane with increased radius
● Decrease shift in the MDF skewness out of the mid-plane
● Create globally similar MDF for high-[α/Fe] population
Standard disk growth (inside-out, no radial mixing) does not work

Conclusion: MW most likely influenced by radial migration
Disk Summary
Radial Migration reproduces key APOGEE results:
✔ Shift the MDF skewness in the mid-plane with increased radiusIncreasing fraction of migrated stars at large radii
✔ Decrease shift in the MDF skewness out of the mid-planeFewer and fewer in situ stars
✔ Create globally similar MDF for high-[α/Fe] population
Stars formed in local reservoir & then migrated!
✔ The highest [Fe/H] stars are on average older than mid [Fe/H] starsThese stars formed in the inner disk in the past and migrated

Conclusion: β & Gaia holds potential for understanding merger history
Halo Summary
Simulations make strong predictions for expected β:
✔ ΛCDM predicts strongly radial βHalo stars retain memory of their radial infall
✔ Tangential β over a wide range of radii could indicate major merger Proto-disks nearly aligned
✔ Tangential β over a small range of radii could indicate recent accretion
Spectroscopic follow-up to confirm
