Scientific paper

An anomolous group of young stars located at high distance z above the Galactic midplane have been found in a number of studies. Although different hypothesis have been put forward to explain their existance, no single hypothesis solves the paradox presented by their early lifetimes in such locations, especially for the most extreme cases. In this work, we propose an in-situ scenario, in which the shocks produced at high z by the spiral density wave promote stellar formation.
