Description
This project examines whether the Milky Way is representative of galaxies of similar mass by analyzing data from the NIHAO cosmological simulation suite. By comparing the stellar and gas properties, stellar ages, and metallicities of simulated galaxies with observations of the Milky Way, we can better understand where our Galaxy fits within the broader galactic population. Additionally, this work investigates whether the two stellar populations observed in the Milky Way’s disk are truly distinct components or part of a single distribution.
