A Galactic Self-Portrait: Density Structure and Integrated Properties of the Milky Way Disk
Julie Imig, Jon A. Holtzman, Gail Zasowski +23
The evolution history of the Milky Way disk is imprinted in the ages, positions, and chemical compositions of individual stars. In this study, we derive the intrinsic density distr…
