Insight Into the Formation of the Milky Way Through Cold Halo Substructure. I. The ECHOS of Milky Way Formation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We identify ten -- seven for the first time -- elements of cold halo substructure (ECHOS) in the volume within 17.5 kpc of the Sun in the inner halo of the Milky Way.

The star-formation history of the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 The star-formation histories of the main stellar components of the Milky Way constrain critical aspects of galaxy formation and evolution. I discuss recent determinations of such histories, together with their interpretation in terms of theories of disk ...

A comprehensive model for the formation and evolution of the faintest Milky Way dwarf satellites [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 In this study, we modify the semi-analytic model Galacticus in order to accurately reproduce the observed properties of dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way.

The formation times and building blocks of Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 Surveys of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 enable detailed studies of stellar populations across ages and metallicities, with the goal of reconstructing formation histories across cosmic time. These surveys motivate key questions for galactic archaeology in

The formation and assembly history of the Milky Way revealed by its globular cluster population [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We use the age–metallicity distribution of 96 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to infer the formation and assembly history of the Milky Way (MW), culminating in the reconstruction of its merger tree.

The Canada–France Imaging Survey: Reconstructing the Milky Way Star Formation History from Its White Dwarf Population [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 As the remnants of stars with initial masses ≲8 M⊙, white dwarfs contain valuable information on the formation histories of stellar populations. In this paper, we use deep, high-quality, u-band photometry from the Canada–France Imaging Survey, griz ...
