Toomre diagram of KIC field stars (light blue) and the Kepler planet host sample used in this work. The color represents the kinematic thick-disk association probability Pthick for each star. Thin-disk stars are designated with teal crosses, and thick-disk stars are designated with red crosses. The gray dotted lines represent lines of constant velocity at Vtot = 50, 100, 150, and 200 [km] s−1.
