The Physical Thickness of Stellar Disks to z ∼ 2
In local disk galaxies such as our Milky Way, older stars generally inhabit a thicker disk than their younger counterparts. Two competing models have attempted to explain this result: one in which stars first form in thin disks that gradually thicken with time through dynamical heating, and one in w...
