Oxygen in the Galactic thin and thick disks [PDF]
, 2002 First results from a study into the abundance trends of oxygen in the Galactic thin and thick disks are presented. Oxygen abundances for 21 thick disk and 42 thin disk F and G dwarf stars based on very high resolution spectra (R\sim 215000) and high ...

Characterisation of the Galactic thick disk
, 2013 Thick disks appear to be common in external large spiral galaxies and our own Milky Way also hosts one. The existence of a thick disk is possibly directly linked to the formation history of the host galaxy and if its properties is known it can constrain ...

Mapping the Asymmetric Thick Disk: II Distance, Size and Mass of the Hercules Thick Disk Cloud
, 2011 The Hercules Thick Disk Cloud (Larsen et al. 2008) was initially discovered as an excess in the number of faint blue stars between quadrants 1 and 4 of the Galaxy.

Models of disk chemical evolution focusing the pure dynamical radial mixing
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We performed N-body simulations to study the dynamical evolution of a stellar disk inside a Dark Matter (DM) halo. Our results evidence how a standard -radially decreasing- metallicity gradient produces a negative vϕ vs.

A dwarf galaxy remnant in Canis Major: the fossil of an in-plane accretion onto the Milky Way
, 2003 We present an analysis of the asymmetries in the population of Galactic M-giant stars present in the 2MASS All Sky catalogue. Several large-scale asymmetries are detected, the most significant of which is a strong elliptical-shaped stellar over-density ...

Monte-Carlo radiative transfer simulation of the circumstellar disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 144432
, 2015 Studies of pre-transitional disks, with a gap region between the inner infrared-emitting region and the outer disk, are important to improving our understanding of disk evolution and planet formation.
