SUMMARY:Chemical and kinematical studies of the Milky Way based on the LAM
 OST Galactic Spectroscopic Surveys - Yang Huang\, KIAA Peking

DESCRIPTION:One of the fundamental tasks of modern astrophysics is to unde
 rstand how galaxies form and evolve. Generally\, the quest can be pursed i
 n two ways: statistical analyses of large samples of distant galaxies (dee
 p-field cosmology) and detailed studies of large samples of member stars i
 n the Local Group of galaxies including our own\, the Milky Way (near-fiel
 d cosmology). Initiated and aimed to make a major contribution to this lat
 ter\, ‘near-field cosmology’ quest for understanding the galaxy format
 ion and evolution\, the LAMOST Galactic Spectroscopic Surveys have hithert
 o collected quality spectra of over 7.5M Galactic stars\, and this number 
 is still increasing at a rate of 1M per annum. Combining with data from ot
 her available photometric\, astrometric and spectroscopic surveys (e.g. Ga
 ia)\, the Surveys have yielded a unique dataset to help us draw an exquisi
 te picture of unprecedented detail of our Galaxy \, in particular of the G
 alactic disk. In this talk\, I will present some of our recent work on the
  study of the chemical and kinematical properties of the Milky Way based o
 n this huge LAMOST dataset.
