Abstract
The objective of this project has been to study the implications that a merger event has in the evolution of a galaxy, and whereas it can justify the formation of a thick disk akin to the one we observe in the Milky Way. In order to analyse this phenomena, we have looked at themetallicites, densities and velocity dispersion of the stellar population of a galactic disk for two galaxies; one which experienced a merger during its evolution and one that developed without. We also compared our results to those found in the literature in order to evaluate their validity, all while using available data from TNG50-1 simulation database.
