    The chemistry of the last major merger
    One prediction of ΛCDM is the existence of partially phase-mixed substructures from accreted dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way stellar halo. Substructure...

    The complex Milky Way history
    In this seminar I will focus on how the avalanche of new data changes our views on how our Galaxy formed and evolved. Precise astrometric, spectroscopic...

    The emergence of the Milky Way: Latest results from Galactic Archaeology
    The previous years have witnessed a big leap forward in our understanding of the Milky Way. Thanks to the highly accurate astrometry and photometry provided by...

    The formation of Milky Way-mass galactic disc structure in cosmological simulations
    Recent years have seen impressive development in cosmological simulations for spiral disc galaxies like the Milky Way. I present a suite of high-resolution...

    The Gaia mission
    Gaia - the ESA cornerstone astrometric mission - was launched in December 2013, with the goal of censing the Milky Way population in a 6D space (positions and...

    The Milky Way as you never saw it before
    Abstract: The study of the structure of our Galaxy, particularly its inner disc, has always been hindered by two factors: interstellar extinction dims even the...

    The Milky Way Bulge
    The structure, kinematics and stellar population of the Galactic bulge is very complex. Only three years ago the bulge was discovered to be X-shaped, a...

    The New Milky Way Bar and Peanut Bulge
    Data from the VVV NIR survey of the inner Milky Way show that our Galaxy has a strongly peanut-shaped bulge. Extending the analysis to larger radii with other...
