On the significance of the thick disks of disk galaxies

Abstract:

Thick disks are a prevalent feature observed in numerous disk galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Their significance has been reported to vary widely, ranging from a few percent to 100% of the disk mass, depending on the galaxy and the measurement method. We use the NewHorizon simulation, which has high spatial and stellar mass resolutions, to investigate the issue of the thick-disk mass fraction. We also use the NewHorizon2 simulation, which was run on the same initial conditions, but ...
