A new astrophysics paper challenges previous interpretations of the Milky Way's thick disk formation history. Researchers found that using asteroseismic ages instead of spectroscopic ages significantly flattens the age-metallicity relation and widens the estimated formation timescale. The study suggests that a compression in stellar age estimates, rather than an intrinsically rapid formation, may be responsible for earlier conclusions of a bursty history. AI
