We present a public code of the JJ model complemented by the three sets of isochrones generated by the stellar tracks and isochrones with the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolution Code (PARSEC), the Modules and Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST), and a Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones (BaSTI). Additionally, the vertical kinematics of the stellar populations associated with these episodes of star-formation excess is allowed to differ from the kinematics prescribed by the age-velocity dispersion relation for the thin-disk populations of the same age. Motivated by our findings for the solar neighbourhood, we allow a smooth power-law SFR continuum to be modified by an arbitrary number of Gaussian peaks. The adopted radial variation in the thin-disk SFR reflects the inside-out disk growth scenario. The overall thickness of the thin disk is assumed to be constant at all radii, though model realisations with a flaring disk can also be tested. Spherical stellar halo and dark matter in the form of a cored isothermal sphere are also added to the model. The thin and thick disks, as well as atomic and molecular gas layers, are assumed to have exponential radial surface density profiles.

The JJ model includes the four flattened and two spheroidal components of the Milky Way, describing it as an axisymmetric system. In this work we present a generalised version of the JJ model that incorporates our findings for the solar neighbourhood and is applicable to a wide range of galactocentric distances, 4 kpc ≲ R ≲ 14 kpc. We have identified two star-formation bursts within the last ∼4 Gyr of the local star-formation rate (SFR) history.Īims.
