A recent observational study of haloes of nearby Milky Way-like galaxies shows that only half (four out of eight) of the current sample exhibits strong negative metallicity ([Fe/H]) gradients. This is at odds with predictions from hydrodynamical simu... Read More about On the stellar halo metallicity profile of Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulations.
