1. 1. A Photometric Study of the Galactic Disks based on Strömgren Photometry

   Författare :Anna Arnadottir; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density parameters; formation.; metallicity distribution function; thin disk; metallicities. Galaxy - thick disk; colours; Photometry - Strömgren; luminosities; SDSS. Stars - classification;

   Sammanfattning : One of the key questions in todays galaxy research is the formation and evolution of disk galaxies such as the Milky Way. Using observations in the intermediate band Stromgren uvby filter system we have investigated how both density and metallicity varies within the Galactic disks in order to learn more about the Galaxy and its past.
