Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.
Subaru PFS will obtain velocities and abundances for ~18k stars in six dwarfs, 30k in M31, and tens of thousands of outer-MW main-sequence stars to test dark-matter profiles and Local Group assembly.
The Milky Way disk spin-up to rotationally supported motion occurred at mean age 12.1 Gyr for -1.25 < [Fe/H] < -0.9, traced by high-alpha stars, while low-alpha stars show no transition and start at disk-like velocities.
FIRE-2 simulations show that stellar radial redistribution scatter saturates at ~2 kpc for stars older than ~3 Gyr, with net orbital changes depending on age and current radius, broadly matching Milky Way observations.

Dawn of the Milky Way disk: Determination of when a rotationally supported disk appears and dating the spin-up of the disk
The Milky Way disk spin-up to rotationally supported motion occurred at mean age 12.1 Gyr for -1.25 < [Fe/H] < -0.9, traced by high-alpha stars, while low-alpha stars show no transition and start at disk-like velocities.

Radial redistribution of stellar orbits in FIRE simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies
FIRE-2 simulations show that stellar radial redistribution scatter saturates at ~2 kpc for stars older than ~3 Gyr, with net orbital changes depending on age and current radius, broadly matching Milky Way observations.
