Geometrical structures of chemically decomposed thick and thin disk populations (2016)
Book Chapter
Kawata, D., Brook, C., Rahimi, A., & Gibson, B. (2017). Geometrical structures of chemically decomposed thick and thin disk populations.

We summarize the thick and thin disk formation commonly seen in cosmological N-body simulations. As suggested in Brook et al. (2004), a hierarchical clustering scenario causes multiple minor gas-rich mergers, and leads to the formation of a kinematic...
