Frequency histograms of h_z, thin and h_z, thick in our AURIGA sample, with 0.1 and 0.5 kpc bins, respectively (solid blue and red lines). These distributions have a weighted average value of 0.6 and 2.6 kpc, respectively, indicated as vertical dashed blue and red lines. Vertical green and magenta lines indicate the average (dashed) and maximum (dotted) thin- and thick-disk values from observations in the Comerón et al. (2018) sample.
