Unveiling a Young Thick Disk in the Milky Way
The thickness of a galaxy’s disk provides a valuable probe of its formation and evolution history. Observations of the Milky Way and local galaxies have revealed an ubiquitous disk structure with two distinctive components: an old thick disk and a relatively young thin disk. The formation of this du...
