Thick Disk Populations

Thick Disk Populations is a stellar population component of the Milky Way galaxy characterized by its elevated scale height and older, metal-poor stars relative to the thin disk, distinguishing it as a distinct structural and evolutionary subsystem within galactic disk kinematics and chemical abundance patterns.
