Here we report the half-light radius of the Milky Way, derived from a new measurement of the age-resolved Galactic surface brightness profile in an unprecedentedly wide radial range from ${m R=0}$ to 17~kpc. We find a broken surface brightness profile with a nearly flat distribution ...
Gas column density,emission(EM)and dispersion(DM)measure have been computed from inside the simulated disk at a position of 8 kpc from the center and in several directions. Our preliminary results reveal that the distribution of hot gas is non-isotropic according with observations(Gupta et al. ...

This broken profile results in a half-light radius of 5.75卤0.38kpc, significantly larger than that inferred from a single-exponential disk profile but consistent with that of local disk galaxies of similar mass. We also confirm that the size growth history of the Milky Way is broadly ...
Using the new size indicator, the observed scatter of the size–mass relation (0.1 dex) decreases by a factor of 2 compared to that using the effective radius. At a fixed stellar mass, Milky Way-like (MW-like; Mstellar 5 × 1010 M⊙) disc galaxies have,...
