The star-formation history of the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
Proceedings of IAU Symposium 258, (2009), 'The Ages of Stars', eds
Mamajek, Soderblom & Wyse p. 11-22, 2009 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 galaxy evolution.

The Rapid Formation of the Metal-poor Milky Way [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalOur understanding of the assembly timeline of the Milky Way has been transforming along with the dramatic increase in astrometric and spectroscopic data available over the past several years.

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.

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 10—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 Rate of the Milky Way as Seen by Herschel [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We present a new derivation of the Milky Way’s current star formation rate (SFR) based on the data of the Herschel InfraRed Galactic Plane Survey (Hi-GAL).

Constraining the formation of the Milky Way: Ages [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 We present a new approach for studying the chemodynamical evolution of the Milky Way, which combines a thin disk chemical evolution model with the dynamics from N-body simulation of a galaxy with properties similar to those of our Galaxy.

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

Chemical Abundances and Milky Way Formation [PDF]
, 2004 Stellar chemical element ratios have well-defined systematic trends as a function of abundance, with an excellent correlation of these trends with stellar populations defined kinematically.

Star Formation in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies.

Life in the fast lane: a direct view of the dynamics, formation, and evolution of the Milky Way's bar [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Studies of the ages, abundances, and motions of individual stars in the Milky Way provide one of the best ways to study the evolution of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The formation of the Milky Way's barred inner region in particular is a crucial piece of the puzzle of disk galaxy evolution.
