... It was found that the Sun lies 9?2 pc above the plane of hte Galactic disk in the direction of North Galactic pole and that F0-F9 stars contribute 0.0035 M /pc 3 to the density of the Galactic disk. ... We used this method to determine the scale height of the subsystem of F stars of the Galactic disk, Z 0 =160?10 pc. ... It is suggested that scale height of the metal-poor stars subsystem is due to the infall of the metall-poor intergalactic gas onto the disk. ...
