The Galactic metallicity ([Fe/H]) gradients using the full sample of reliable clusters from the E. L. Hunt & S. Reffert (2023) analysis (shown as triangles), as a function of the current Galactocentric radius (RGC; top panel (a)) and guiding center radius (RGuide; bottom panel (b)). The bilinear fit (blue lines), as well as the linear fit (choral dotted–dashed line), is shown. Fit parameters and knee locations are indicated within each panel. The color bar indicates the number of OCCAM member stars in each cluster, saturating at a value of five stars.
