Claims
We derive the AMR from several sub-samples of WD+MS that use independent measurements of [Fe/H] abundances and consistently find a large dispersion in [Fe/H] at all ages. This behaviour agrees with previous determinations of the AMR based on both WD+MS binaries and samples of isolated stars.
That the white dwarf and main-sequence components in wide binaries are coeval so that white dwarf cooling ages accurately represent the system age, and that the compiled [Fe/H] values from the main-sequence companions faithfully reflect the birth metallicity of the system.
Wide WD+MS binaries from Gaia show large intrinsic scatter in [Fe/H] at all ages for the Galactic disk AMR, agreeing with prior studies and indicating complex chemical evolution.
