Kinematics of the Milky Way Thick disk in solar neighborhood

Vieira, K.; Korchagin, V.; Lutsenko, A.

Using GAIA EDR3 catalog, we present the detailed analysis of the two-component Milky Way stellar disk in the solar neighborhood. To determine the kinematical properties of the thin and of the Thick disks, we select the complete sample of about 278,000 evolved red giant branch (RGB) stars distributed in the cylinder of 1 kpc radius and 0.5 kpc heig…
