... A correlation between metal abundance and orbital elements (the eccentricity and angular momentum) has been found for three semples of disk stars of our Galaxy with abundance derived from detailed analysis. The correlation indicates that metal abundance in the Galaxy kept increasing after the birth of old disk stars and that the Galaxy kept collapsing during the formation of its disk subsystems. ...
