Dynamical Origin of the Vertical Metallicity Gradient of the Milky Way Bulge

A vertical metallicity gradient (VMG) in the Milky Way bulge is well-established. Yet, its origin has not been fully understood under the Galactic secular evolution scenario. We construct single-disk and triple-disk N -body models with an initial radial metallicity gradient (RMG) for each disk. Thes...
