Scientific paper

The existence of thick disk in our Galaxy was first revealed by observations in 1980's, but how it forms is still unresolved. Recent observations show that the abundance patterns of α-elements in the thin and thick disk are distinct, and this difference also appear for some other elements, such as Al, Mn, Zn and neutron-capture elements. A comprehensive study in stellar element abundances, age and kinematics will be able to refine and constrain various models of Galactic thick disk formation.
