The Milky Way stellar disk shows a broken radial density profile with four components, azimuthal dependence, inner and outer flaring, and a density-metallicity bump possibly from radial migration.
IllustrisTNG simulations indicate galactic disk precession is common, driven by external tidal torques within 30 kpc, inducing warps and influencing evolution at all redshifts.
