Counterculture Stars: Slow and Retrograde Stars with Low-alpha Disk Abundances

The Milky Way is home to a thin disk that can be defined via kinematics and/or elemental abundances. The elemental abundance-defined thin disk, also called the low-alpha disk, is generally thought to comprise stars on planar, circular orbits that approximate the circular velocity curve. While this i...
