Young giant stars reveal a flaring Milky Way disc with 3.5 kpc radial scale and extended spiral arms including a curved Perseus segment and a new Scutum-associated feature.
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.
Local disk galaxies have thin vertical structures with median scale heights of 0.22 kpc and negligible flaring, consistent with the Milky Way thin disk and positively correlated with stellar mass down to 10^7 solar masses.
