Disk Thickening

Disk thickening is a dynamical process in galactic archaeology whereby the vertical scale height of a stellar disk increases over time due to gravitational interactions with massive structures, such as satellite galaxies or spiral arms, distinguishing it from secular and primordial disk heating mechanisms.
