The connection between the host halo and the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2016 Many properties of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, including its mass assembly history, concentration, and subhalo population, remain poorly constrained.

A Model for the Formation of the Milky Way [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2004 AbstractA new chemodynamical model for the formation and evolution of a Milky Way type galaxy is introduced. In this scenario, the galaxy forms inside a slowly growing dark matter halo in a ΛCDM cosmology. In contrast to the simple merger and collapse scenarios, the galactic mass grows continuously over a Hubble time.

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. In a recent paper we used a sample of nearby disc galaxies to infer the volumetric star formation (VSF) law, a tight ...

GTC Follow-up Observations of Very Metal-poor Star Candidates from DESI
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will significantly increase the numbers of known extremely metal-poor stars by a factor of ∼10, improving the sample statistics to study the early chemical evolution of the Milky Way ...

The origin of physical variations in the star formation law [PDF]
, 2013 Observations of external galaxies and of local star-forming clouds in the Milky Way have suggested a variety of star formation laws, i.e., simple direct relations between the column density of star formation (Sigma_SFR: the amount of gas forming stars ...

, 1997 We review observational evidence bearing on the formation of a prototypical large spiral galaxy, the Milky Way. New ground- and space-based studies of globular star clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies provide a wealth of information to constrain theories of galaxy formation.
