SUMMARY:The story of our Galaxy\, as told by Gaia - Payel Das (Surrey)

CONTACT:Clare Worley
DESCRIPTION:Gaia has brought our Milky Way into focus in an unprecedented 
 way\, enabling us to unravel its turbulent past. The synergy between Gaia 
 and ground-based spectroscopic surveys has provided us with photometry\, 6
 -D phase-space coordinates\, and spectra for millions of stars. The inferr
 ed dynamical and chemical properties have placed constraints on evolutiona
 ry processes that have shaped our Galaxy\, and reliable ages have allowed 
 us to make chronological sense of them. I will discuss a few key events in
  the story of how our Galaxy formed. To finish\, I will say some words abo
 ut what our new perspective on the formation of the Milky Way can reveal a
 bout the evolution of disk galaxies throughout the Universe.\n
