Vertical stellar surface density profiles of a post-merger thick stellar disk at 0.5 Gyr after the completion of a dissipationless minor merger (black). We show profiles at a variety of distances from the galaxy center along the galactic mid-plane, in units of the disk scale length rd. Also shown are the double sech functions fitted to the profiles and their corresponding scale heights z0 in kpc (labeled in red).
