Stellar Mass and Velocity Functions of Galaxies: Backward evolution and the fate of Milky Way siblings [PDF]
, 2010 We attempt in this paper to check the consistency of the observed Stellar Mass Function (SMF), SFR functions and the cosmic star formation rate density with simple backward evolutionary models. Starting from observed SMF for star-forming galaxies, we use

The origin of the Milky Way globular clusters [PDF]
, 2016 We present a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy used to explore the formation and evolution of star clusters. We investigate in particular the origin of the bimodality observed in the colour and metallicity of globular clusters ...

The Tilt of the Velocity Ellipsoid of Different Galactic Disk Populations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The tilt of the velocity ellipsoid is a helpful tracer of the gravitational potential of the Milky Way. In this paper, we use nearly 140,000 red clump (RC) stars selected from LAMOST and Gaia to make a detailed analysis of the tilt of the velocity ...

Dynamical evolution of a bulge in an N-body model of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2011 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 Rapid Onset of Stellar Bars in the Baryon-dominated Centers of Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Recent observations of high-redshift galactic disks ( z ≈ 1–3) show a strong negative trend in the dark-matter (DM) fraction f _DM with increasing baryon surface density.

The influence of nova nucleosynthesis on the chemical evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]
, 2000 We adopt up-to-date yields of 7Li, 13C, 15N from classical novae and use a well tested model for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way in order to predict the temporal evolution of these elemental species in the solar neighborhood.

Secular Evolution in the Milky Way [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractI will review the secular evolution of the Milky Way disk and bulge with particular attention to the bulge and disk. Evidence for the importance of stellar migration in the Solar neighbourhood will be presented. The upcoming Gaia satellite will lead to a wealth of new data with which to explore these effects.

The Gaia-ESO Survey: the selection function of the Milky Way field stars [PDF]
, 2016 The Gaia-ESO Survey was designed to target all major Galactic components (i.e., bulge, thin and thick discs, halo and clusters), with the goal of constraining the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Milky Way.

The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In Paper I, we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (Σ _SFR ), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]–[ α /Fe] chemical space, similar to that of the Milky Way’s (MW’s) thin+thick disks.
