Constraining the Milky Way assembly history with Galactic Archaeology [PDF]

open access: greenAstronomische Nachrichten, 2016
AbstractThe aim of Galactic Archaeology is to recover the evolutionary history of the Milky Way from its present day kinematical and chemical state. Because stars move away from their birth sites, the current dynamical information alone is not sufficient for this task.

Massive first star binaries as new tools for Galactic archaeology [PDF]

open access: diamondEPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
Binary systems are important probes of the origin of stars with peculiar chemical features through the interactions between two stars. We have studied the evolution of a metal-free massive binary after the collision of the supernova ejecta with a low-mass companion.

Galactic archaeology: IMF and depletion in the "thin disk" [PDF]

open access: bronzeMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003
We determine the initial mass function (IMF) of the ``thin disk'' by means of a direct comparison between synthetic stellar samples (for different matching choices of IMF, star formation rate SFR and depletion) and a complete (volume-limited) sample of ...

Dynamics for galactic archaeology [PDF]

open access: greenNew Astronomy Reviews, 2013
Our Galaxy is a complex machine in which several processes operate simultaneously: metal-poor gas is accreted, is chemically enriched by dying stars, and then drifts inwards, surrendering its angular momentum to stars; new stars are formed on nearly circular orbits in the equatorial plane and then diffuse through orbit space to eccentric and inclined ...

Galactic Archaeology: Tracing the Milky Way's Formation and Evolution through Stellar Populations [PDF]

open access: bronzearXiv, 2023
Galactic archaeology represents a multidisciplinary approach aimed at unraveling the intricate history of the Milky Way galaxy through the study of its stellar populations. This abstract delves into the significance of galactic archaeology as a vital tool for understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way.

The K2 Galactic Archaeology Program: Overview, target selection, and survey properties [PDF]

open access: greenMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT K2 was a community-driven NASA mission where all targets were proposed through guest observer programmes. Here we provide an overview of one of the largest of these endeavours, the K2 Galactic Archaeology Programme (K2GAP), with about 25 per cent of the observed targets being allocated to this programme.
