Thick disk: Overview, Origin & Dispute

A thick disk is one of the structural components of about 2/3 of all disk galaxies, including the Milky Way. It was discovered first in external edge-on galaxies. Soon after, it was proposed as a distinct galactic structure in the Milky Way, different from the thin disk and the halo. It is thought to dominate the stellar number density between 1 and 5…
