Astronomy Colloquium - Jo Bovy
What drives the evolution of the Milky Way's disk?Jo Bovy (University of Toronto)Observations of the structure and dynamics of different stellar populations in the Milky Way's disk provide a unique perspective on Galactic growth, evolution, and dynamics over cosmic time. I will review our current knowledge of the chemo-orbital structure of the disk and the major outstanding questions. I will then discuss new measurements of the kinematics and chemistry of stars over a large part of the Galactic disk from the APOGEE survey and the new insights these measurements provide about the formation and evolution of the Milky Way’s disk.Coffee & Donuts will be served at 3:30pm in 4054 McPherson Lab
