Caption: Figure 1.
Observed and predicted age–metallicity distribution as a function of radius. The top row displays the observed distribution derived from APOGEE data, while the bottom row shows the corresponding predictions from the late-accretion chemical evolution model. The solid blue lines in both rows illustrate the evolutionary tracks of the late-accretion models.
