1 Chap.3 The nature of Galactic components Overview of (old) Galactic components bulge, thick disk, metal-weak halo Globular clusters metallicity & age distribution Satellite galaxies spatial and metallicity distributions 1 Old components in the Milky Way globular cluster halo star thick disk age > 10 Gyr (formation redshift > 2) Bulge Halo age > 10 Gyr (formation redshift > 2) Fossil records in Galaxy formation Near-field Cosmology Galactic bulge bulge+disk disk Large ISM extinction IR Obs 1Gyr isochrone Bulge stars in the NIR CM-diagram (using photometric data) bulge Zoccali et al. 2003, A&A, 399, 931 Zoccali et al HB 10Gyr isochrone at overall metallicity [M/H]=-1.3, & 5 Gyr isochrone at [M/H]=-1.3,

Alpha enhanced Enrichment by Type II SNe (time scale < 1 Gyr) Boxy/peanut shape with cylindrical rotation Resembling 3d dynamical structure of a bar (pseudobulge) which formed via disk instability (made of old disk stars) No or small fraction of a classical bulge (via major merger) Bulge formation by disk instability? Galactic disk Metallicity distribution of nearby stars Geneva-Copenhagen Survey Thick-disk-to-thin-disk probability ratio (from stellar kinematics) Spectroscopic sample used in Bensby+ (2014) For thick-disk stars For thin-disk stars Photometric metallicity Spectroscopic metallicity 11 Gilmore & Reid 1983, MN, 202, 1025 Discovery of the thick-disk component Number density of stars vs z 300pc 1350pc Exponential scale height h z h z R z Thin disk ~ Thick disk ~

5 Comparison with metallicity distribution (MD) of young stars (B-type stars) Feltzing & Chiba (2013) using Nieva and Przybilla (2012) data B stars MD of B-type stars reflects that of ISM near the Sun Very meal-rich stars with [Fe/H] > cannot be formed near the Sun 17 Metallicity distribution of the thick disk (reproduced from Wyse & Gilmore 1995) (Chiba & Beers 2000) fiducial metallicity range of the thick disk -1 < [Fe/H] < -0.4 But the rapidly-rotating disk component is extended toward lower metallicity: Metal-Weak Thick Disk (MWTD) Galactic halo Ryan & Norris 1991, AJ, 101, 1865 High proper-motion stars [Fe/H] 19 5 Gyr Unavane et al.
