Thick disk kinematics from RAVE and the solar motion [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We present a method to derive kinematic parameters for the Galactic thick disk based on stellar radial velocity data alone, without previous knowledge of distances.

Thick-disk evolution induced by the growth of an embedded thin disk [PDF]
, 2010 We perform collisionless N-body simulations to investigate the evolution of the structural and kinematical properties of simulated thick disks induced by the growth of an embedded thin disk.

Vertical Density Distribution of the Galaxy from Star Count Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2002 The five space density distribution D(z) with distance perpendicular to the Galactic plane were combined. The scale heights and the local densities at z = 0 of the thin disk, thick disk, and the halo components were estimated from the nonlinear least ...

Black Hole Accretion with Saturated Magnetic Pressure and Disk Wind
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We construct an analytical black hole accretion disk model that incorporates both magnetic pressure and disk wind, which are found to be important from numerical simulations.

The Physical Thickness of Stellar Disks to z ∼ 2
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In local disk galaxies such as our Milky Way, older stars generally inhabit a thicker disk than their younger counterparts. Two competing models have attempted to explain this result: one in which stars first form in thin disks that gradually thicken ...

THE MAGNESIUM ABUNDANCE IN THE THIN AND THICK DISK OF THE GALAXY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 The chemical evolution of the thin and thick disk of our Galaxy was investigated in framework of the opened model with gas inflow. It was supposed that the thin and thick disks separate chemically and spatially and have different evolution timescales ...

High-resolution Chemical Abundances of the Nyx Stream
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Nyx is a nearby, prograde, and high-eccentricity stellar stream physically contained in the thick disk, but its origin is unknown. Nyx could be the remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy, in which case the associated dark matter substructure could affect ...

Milky Way's Thick and Thin disk: Is there distinct thick disk? [PDF]
, 2016 This article is based on our discussion session on Milky Way models at the 592 WE-Heraeus Seminar, Reconstructing the Milky Way's History: Spectroscopic Surveys, Asteroseismology and Chemodynamical models. The discussion focused on the following question:

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 A 65-year-old male with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage underwent 25G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). A large disk of thick organized blood of 5 disk diameter (DD) size was encountered in subhyaloid space.
