Where does the disk stop and the halo begin? Kinematics in a rotation field
Abstract
A sample of G and K giants, approximately 4 kpc away from the sun, covering the abundance range from disk to halo in a field chosen to measure rotational kinematics, is discussed. To study the disk to halo transition, the sample has been enlarged with similar samples of stars in the solar neighborhood to include almost 200 giants and the concept of 'thick disk' has been introduced. For selected giants, abundances, distances, and reddenings are derived, and velocity dispersion is estimated. From the data presented, it is concluded that the disk and halo abundance distributions overlap and that their kinematics are discontinuous. The kinematics of the metal-weak red giants, with abundances extended as low as Fe/H = -1.6, is compared with the kinematics of the halo objects, and the data are interpreted with respect to the thick disk, the halo kinematics, and the theories of galaxy formation.

The thick disk has a significant metal-weak tail, often referred to as the metal-weak thick disk.
“It also has a very significant tail, which is often referred to as the metalweak thick disk (Norris et al. 1985, Morrison et al. 1990, Morrison 1993, Beers et al. 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
