The history of star formation in our galaxy is written in the metal abundance distributions of the stellar populations. Any star formation model is constrained by two facts. First, there was a period in the early stages of galactic evolution during which the metallicity of the gas out of which stars were being formed was significantly lower than the present epoch. Second, there is a paucity of extremely metal deficient stars in the disk of the galaxy.
