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 Milky Way and other spiral galaxies [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Cosmologists have often considered the Milky Way as a typical spiral galaxy, and its properties have considerably influenced the current scheme of galaxy formation.

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 ...

Molecular gas and star formation in the Milky Way [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 The dense molecular gas is the ideal tracer of the spiral structure in the Milky Way, and should be used intensively to solve the puzzle of its structure. In spite of our position inside the plane, we can hope to disentangle the structures, with position-

The volumetric star formation law in the Milky Way [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Several open questions on galaxy formation and evolution have their roots in the lack of a universal star formation law that could univocally link the gas properties, such as its density, to the star formation rate (SFR) density.

STAR FORMATION RELATIONS IN THE MILKY WAY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 The relations between star formation and properties of molecular clouds (MCs) are studied based on a sample of star-forming regions in the Galactic Plane.

The formation of the Galactic bulge of the Milky Way [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We aim to determine if the bulge formed via mergers as predicted by Cold Dark Matter (CDM) theory, or from disk instabilities, as suggested by its boxy shape, or both processes. We are observing about 28,000 bulge stars in fields that span longitudes of −

The Milky Way and its gas: Cold fountains and accretion [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 The Milky Way is acquiring gas from infalling high-velocity clouds. The material enters a disk-halo interface that in many places is populated with HI clouds that have been ejected from the disk through processes linked to star formation. The Smith Cloud
