Formation and Evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1998 To paint with broad brush strokes, the spectrum of Galactic formation models has as extrema what may be termed the “fast and smooth” and the “slow and lumpy” scenarios. Appropriate or not, to ascribe as champions of these views the works of, respectively, Eggen et al.

The chemical evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
Proceedings of Frontier Research in Astrophysics – II — PoS(FRAPWS2016), 2017 We will discuss some highlights concerning the chemical evolution of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. First we will describe the main ingredients necessary to build a model for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. Then we will illustrate some Milky Way models which includes detailed stellar nucleosynthesis and compute the evolution of a large number of ...

Modelling the chemical evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2021 In this review I will discuss the comparison between model results and observational data for the Milky Way, the predictive power of such models as well as their limits. Such a comparison, known as Galactic archaeology, allows us to impose constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis and timescales of formation of the various Galactic components (halo, bulge,

Structure and Evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2011 This review discusses the structure and evolution of the Milky Way, in the context of opportunities provided by asteroseismology of red giants. The review is structured according to the main Galactic components: the thin disk, thick disk, stellar halo, and the Galactic bar/bulge.

Evolution of the grain size distribution in Milky Way-like galaxies in post-processed IllustrisTNG simulations [PDF]
, 2020 We model dust evolution in Milky Way-like galaxies by post-processing the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulations in order to predict dust-to-gas ratios and grain size distributions. We treat grain-size-dependent dust growth and destruction processes using a 64-bin discrete grain size evolution model without spatially resolving each galaxy.

A Gaia-Enceladus Analog in the EAGLE Simulation: Insights into the Early Evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2019 We identify a simulated Milky Way analog in the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. This galaxy not only shares similar global properties as the Milky Way, but was specifically selected because its merger history resembles that currently known for the Milky Way.

The Three-phase Evolution of the Milky Way
The Astrophysical JournalWe illustrate the formation and evolution of the Milky Way over cosmic time, utilizing a sample of 10 million red giant stars with full chemodynamical information, including metallicities and α -abundances from low-resolution Gaia XP spectra.

Dynamical evolution of a bulge in an N-body model of the Milky Way [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 The detailed dynamical structure of the bulge in the Milky Way is currently under debate. Although kinematics of the bulge stars can be well reproduced by a boxy-bulge, the possible existence of a small embedded classical bulge can not be ruled out.

The Milky Way and the evolution of disk galaxies
, 2002 We present a phenomenological approach to the study of disk galaxy evolution, based on i) a detailed modelling of the Milky Way (used as a prototype disk galaxy) and ii) an extension of the model to other disks through some simple scaling relations, obtained in the framework of Cold Dark matter models.
