Disk Heating

Disk Heating is a theoretical construct in galactic dynamics that describes the process by which stellar orbits in a galactic disk increase in random motion and vertical oscillation amplitudes over time due to gravitational interactions with spiral arms, molecular clouds, or mergers, leading to disk thickening.
