Answer:

Galactic disk

Step-by-step explanation:

Galactic disc's are composed mostly of the galaxy's stars and a gaseous component mostly composed of cool gas and dust. The stellar population of galactic discs tend to exhibit very little random motion with most of its stars undergoing nearly circular orbits about the galactic center. This circular orbit maintains the galaxy's rotation momentum.
