<p>On Friday, May 20th at <b>14:00</b> Ted Mackereth (CITA/Dunlap)
will give the seminar via Zoom. Please note the later time.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Unravelling the assembly history of the Milky Way:
Observations, Simulations, Genetic Modification and... Sausages?</b><br>
<br>
In order to properly understand much of the physics that governs
our Universe and forms the grand structures that we see in it
today, we must understand the mass assembly of galaxies. The Milky
Way is perhaps the only galaxy for which we might one day fully
reconstruct its assembly history, piece by piece, star by star. In
this talk, I will show how, through a combination of
industrial-scale observational surveys and detailed numerical
simulations, we can begin to both constrain and understand the
effects of the Milky Way’s history of assembly. I will show how
such simulations can provide links between the present day
properties of Milky Way stellar populations and it’s early dark
matter assembly, and how these predictions can be directly tested
using data from Gaia, the SDSS/APOGEE survey and Kepler, K2 and
TESS. Finally, I will paint a picture of the future of the mission
to use the Milky Way and nearby galaxies as a tool for
understanding galaxy formation on a general basis.<br>
<br>
We are trying something new this year with leaving the Zoom call
open after the formal hour of the seminar is up to allow the
speaker, if they wish, to chat informally with anyone who is
interested.</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
