Filled symbols represent kinematically hot thick disc stars
Open symbols representkinematically cold thin disc stars
Uncomplete sample, stars were selected basedon their kinematic propertiesto be possible members of eitherof the two discs.
Still, the two samples clearlyshow different abundance trends
However, two extreme samples,What about stars with less extremekinematic properties?
