Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a benchmark for understanding disk galaxies. It is the only
galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been
started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental …

Context. The motion of stars has been used to reveal details of the complex history of the
Milky Way, in constant interaction with its environment. Nevertheless, to reconstruct the …

Open clusters are unique tracers of the history of our own Galaxy's disc. According to our
membership analysis based on Gaia astrometry, out of the 226 potential clusters falling in …

We present a semi-empirical, largely model-independent approach for estimating Galactic
birth radii, r birth, for Milky Way disc stars. The technique relies on the justifiable assumption …

Important insights into the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc (s) are contained in
the chemical compositions of stars. We analysed high-resolution and high signal-to-noise …

We study the structure, age and metallicity gradients, and dynamical evolution using a
cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the Feedback in Realistic …

Quenching, the cessation of star formation, is one of the most significant events in the life
cycle of galaxies. While quenching is generally thought to be linked to their central regions …

Context. Gaia's third data release provides radial velocities for 33 million stars and
spectroscopically derived atmospheric parameters for more than 5 million targets. When …

Context. The spatial distribution of elemental abundances in the disc of our Galaxy gives
insights both on its assembly process and subsequent evolution, and on the stellar …
