Heavy element evolution in the inner regions of the Milky Way [PDF]
We present results for the evolution of the abundances of heavy elements (O, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Ni and Fe) in the inner Galactic regions ($R_{GC} < 4$kpc).

The Rapid Onset of Stellar Bars in the Baryon-dominated Centers of Disk Galaxies
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.

Revisiting long-standing puzzles of the Milky Way: the Sun and its vicinity as typical outer disk chemical evolution [PDF]
We present a scenario of the chemical enrichment of the solar neighborhood that solves the G-dwarf problem by taking into account constraints on a larger scale.

On the chemical evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
AbstractI discuss three different topics concerning the chemical evolution of the Milky Way (MW). 1) The metallicity distribution of the MW halo; it is shown that this distribution can be analytically derived in the framework of the hierarchical merging scenario for galaxy formation, assuming that the component sub-haloes had chemical properties ...

The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge
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.

Rapid disc settling and the transition from bursty to steady star formation in Milky Way-mass galaxies [PDF]
Recent observations and simulations indicate substantial evolution in the properties of galaxies with time, wherein rotationally-supported and steady thin discs (like those frequently observed in the local universe) emerge from galaxies that are clumpy,

The Tilt of the Velocity Ellipsoid of Different Galactic Disk Populations
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 ...

The chemical evolution of barium and europium in the Milky Way [PDF]
We compute the evolution of the abundances of barium and europium in the Milky Way and we compare our results with the observed abundances from the recent UVES Large Program "First Stars". We use a chemical evolution model which already reproduces the majority of observational constraints.
