Galactic Archaeology with the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
AbstractWe present an overview of our Galactic Archaeology (GA) survey program with the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) for Subaru. Following successful design reviews, the instrument is now under construction with first light anticipated in 2018. Main characteristics of PFS and the science goals in our PFS/GA program are described.

The GALAH Survey and Galactic Archaeology in the next decade [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The field of Galactic Archaeology aims to understand the origins and evolution of the stellar populations in the Milky Way, as a way to understand galaxy formation and evolution in general. The GALAH (Galactic Archaeology with HERMES) Survey is an ambitious Australian-led project to explore the Galactic history of star formation, chemical evolution ...

Asteroseismology for Galactic archaeology: bridging two fields [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
AbstractAsteroseismology has the capability of precisely determining stellar properties that would otherwise be inaccessible, such as radii, masses, and thus ages of field stars. When coupling this information with classical determinations of stellar parameters, such as metallicities, effective temperatures, and angular diameters, powerful new ...

On the potential of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-poor Stars for Galactic Archaeology [PDF]

Bulletin de la Société Royale des Sciences de Liège
The low-mass metal-poor stars in the Galaxy that preserve in their atmosphere, the chemical imprints of the gas clouds from which they were formed can be used as probes to get insight into the origin and evolution of elements in the early galaxy, early star formation and nucleosynthesis.

Galactic Archaeology with RAVE: Clues to the Formation of the Thick Disk

, 2014
I present an analysis of ~13000 stars from RAVE Data Release 4 (DR4) to better understand the formation of the thick disk. The stars I consider are mostly within 1 kpc of the Sun. Based on a Monte-Carlo analysis of the data and comparison with a toy model, I suggest the thick disk formed fairly rapidly when [Mg/Fe] ${\approx}$0.2-0.3.
