Galactic Archaeology using the stellar vertical structure of galactic discs [PDF]

, 2022
The vertical distribution of stars within galactic discs is intrinsically connected to the evolution of the host galaxy: from the creation of galactic components such as the thin and thick disc to many disc features, like flaring, age gradients, or warps.

Asteroseismology and Galactic Archaeology

EAS Publications Series, 2015
Galactic Archeology is a coined term to describe the fact that the Milky Way's history is encoded both in the amounts of various chemical elements seen in the spectra of stellar atmospheres (abundances), and in stellar motions. One of the pillars of Galactic Archaeology is the use of stellar abundance ratios as an indirect age estimator, which although

Galactic Archaeology and Minimum Spanning Trees [PDF]

, 2015
Chemical tagging of stellar debris from disrupted open clusters and associations underpins the science cases for next-generation multi-object spectroscopic surveys. As part of the Galactic Archaeology project TraCD (Tracking Cluster Debris), a preliminary attempt at reconstructing the birth clouds of now phase-mixed thin disk debris is undertaken using

PLATO as it is: A legacy mission for Galactic archaeology [PDF]

Astronomische Nachrichten, 2017
Deciphering the assembly history of the Milky Way is a formidable task, which becomes possible only if one can produce high‐resolution chrono‐chemo‐kinematical maps of the Galaxy. Data from large‐scale astrometric and spectroscopic surveys will soon provide us with a well‐defined view of the current chemo‐kinematical structure of the Milky Way, but it ...

In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology

, 2019
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empirical data that describes its current morphological, dynamical, temporal and chemical structures. Here, we describe the path to achieving this goal.

Galactic Archaeology in the Era of Large Surveys [PDF]

, 2020
In this Thesis, I study the formation and chemical evolution of the Milky Way by means of new and detailed chemical evolution models in the light of the most recent data from Galactic surveys and missions. Indeed, we are in a golden era for Galactic Archaeology thanks to the advent of several Galactic spectroscopic surveys and missions.

Galactic archaeology in and around the Milky Way [PDF]

, 2011
There is much to be learnt from our own "cosmological backyard" Only in our own Milky Way and some surrounding galaxies we can resolve and observe individual stars and learn from them about galaxies in general. Because stars keep a chemical fingerprint during their lives and also preserve kinematical information for long times, studying the present-day

Galactic Archaeology in the Local Group

, 2020
We are in the age of advanced surveys and simulations which have greatly expanded our understanding of the large scale evolution of the universe, but have also revealed many contradictions at small scale. Limitations of our simulations make it difficult to resolve faint substructures in Local Group analogs, hence we resort to observations which now ...

Stellar Ages for Galactic Archaeology : Methods and Applications [PDF]

, 2021
Galactic Archaeology is the study of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way through the properties of stars and stellar populations. The combination of stellar ages, chemical compositions, positions, and velocities can reveal the history of star formation and chemical enrichment in different regions of the Galaxy.
