Subject: EuCAPT virtual colloquium Tue April 8th 15.00 CET, Amina Helmi: Dynamics and history of the Milky Way

Dear all,

We are delighted to announce that the next EuCAPT virtual colloquium at 15.00 CET on Tuesday April 8th will be delivered by Amina Helmi (University of Groningen)

Title: Dynamics and history of the Milky Way

Abstract: Our understanding of the Milky Way and its constituents is undergoing a revolutionary change driven
primarily by the Gaia space mission, and which is further reinforced when combined with spectroscopic
surveys from the ground. In this colloquium, I will highlight a few of the results stemming from the
analysis of the truly spectacular Gaia data releases. Specifically, I will discuss what we have learned
about the assembly history of the Milky Way thus far. I will also present some intriguing findings
regarding its dynamics and our current efforts to place the Milky Way in a proper cosmological context.

The colloquium will be recorded and made available at the same link.

Best regards,
Sébastien Renaux-Petel
on behalf of the EuCAPT colloquium task force
