1. Stellar Ages for Galactic Archaeology : Methods and Applications
Abstract : Galactic Archaeology is the study of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way through the properties of stars and stellar populations. The combination of stellar ages, chemical compositions, positions, and velocities can reveal the history of star formation and chemical enrichment in different regions of the Galaxy. READ MORE

2. The origin and chemical evolution of iron-peak and neutron-capture elements in the Milky Way disk
Abstract : All the elements heavier than Li are created during stellar evolution. Even if our knowledge of this process is good, many questions still remain. READ MORE

3. The nature of stars with a common origin: clues from metallicity, elemental abundances, and kinematics
Abstract : Most of field stars originate from dissolved star clusters. If the gas cloud is well mixed the stars in the cluster are expected to be chemically homogenous. READ MORE

4. Exploring the nature of ISM turbulencein disc galaxies
Abstract : Galaxy formation is a continuous process that started only a few hundred million yearsafter the Big Bang. The first galaxies were very volatile, with bursts of star formationand disorganised gas motions. READ MORE

5. The nature of kinematic structures in the Galactic disc
Abstract : The velocity distribution of stars in the Galactic disc is complex and consists of a vast number of kinematic structures, that is, stars that share similar velocity components. The reasons why some stars move together may be different and are related to dynamical processes connected to the Galaxy, both internal as well as external ones, such as resonances with the Galactic bar or the Galactic spiral arm structure, dissolution of open clusters, or merger events with other galaxies.
