A synthetic view on structure and evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 Since the Hipparcos mission and recent large scale surveys in the optical and the near-infrared, new constraints have been obtained on the structure and evolution history of the Milky Way. The population synthesis approach is a useful tool to interpret such data sets and to test scenarios of evolution of the Galaxy.

Modelling the chemical evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2021 AbstractIn 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 ...

Stellar Bars in Isolated Gas-rich Spiral Galaxies Do Not Slow Down
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks in the nearby Universe. Due to gravitational interactions between the bar and the other components of galaxies, it is expected ...

Disentangling Stellar Age Estimates from Galactic Chemodynamical Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar ages are key for determining the formation history of the Milky Way, but are difficult to measure precisely. Furthermore, methods that use chemical abundances to infer ages may entangle the intrinsic evolution of stars with the chemodynamical ...

, 2007 The Milky Way is the only galaxy for which we can resolve individual stars at all evolutionary phases, from the Galactic center to the outskirt. The last decade, thanks to the advent of near IR detectors and 8 meter class telescopes, has seen a great ...

4MOST Consortium Survey 3: Milky Way Disc and Bulge Low-Resolution Survey (4MIDABLE-LR)
, 2019 The mechanisms of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way are encoded in the orbits, chemistry and ages of its stars. With the 4MOST MIlky way Disk And BuLgE Low-Resolution Survey (4MIDABLE-LR) we aim to study kinematic and chemical substructures in

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.

Why is the Milky Way X-factor Constant? [PDF]
, 2013 The CO-H2 conversion factor (Xco; otherwise known as the X-factor) is observed to be remarkably constant in the Milky Way and in the Local Group (aside from the SMC). To date, our understanding of why Xco should be so constant remains poor.
