Different theories predict how this metallicity gradient changes over billions of years.
已有几种不同的理论对金属丰度梯度在亿万年间如何变化作了推测。
Thus, the disc begins its existence with a steep metallicity gradient, like the one in the distant galaxy in Leo.
因此,主盘在形成伊始有一个很大的丰度梯度,就像遥远的狮子座里的那个星系那样。
Benson says that the steep metallicity gradient agrees with the long-standing but unconfirmed idea that spiral galaxies form their discs of stars from the inside out.
Benson说,这个高梯度的结果与一个久已有之但一直未被证实的想法相符,这个想法就是螺旋星系的恒星主盘是由内而外形成的。
In addition, last year other astronomers reported a steep metallicity gradient in an even farther galaxy, but that galaxy is not a spiral, so its relevance to the Milky Way is less clear.
另外,去年有其他天文学家报告称在一个更远的星系中发现了较大的金属丰度梯度,但那个星系不是螺旋星系,所以它与银河系的关系就没有那么明确了。
