Recent Talks

3- Other spectroscopic surveys and analysis strategies

- eBOSS, BigBOSS, HETDEX, WEAVE, 4MOST

- data mashup: astrometry,  photometry and spectroscopy together

- reconstructing the Galaxy

- 'observing' galaxy simulations

- discovery and follow-up of interesting/exotic targets: HVS, UMPS, CEMPS, RCrBs...

5- Some current problems and opportunities

- simulating kinematics

- simulating variables

- simulating non-solar scaled populations

- simulating rare and extreme populations (e.g. X-ray sources, PNe,

  hot-WDs, AGB-manque', C stars, IR-emission by mass-losing stars)

- opportunities opened by asteroseismology

5-   The Galactic halo

- mass, extent, shape

- substructure, inner/outer halo

5- The Galactic bulge

- observational status on bulge kinematics and chemical properties in the context of other bulges

- ideas about the formation of the bulge

5- SPH basics

- numerical viscosity

- Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities

- other problems and their amelioration

2- Spectra

- APOGEE, RAVE, SDSS/SEGUE/BOSS, Gaia-ESO

- Spectral classification

- radial velocities

- automated data analysis

4- From external galaxies to the Milky Way

- basic equation of stellar statistics, computational methods

- overview of available MW codes

- expected populations X photometric depth and galactic coordinates

4-  The Galactic bulge

- structure

- dynamics

- origin

4- The stellar halo of the Galaxy

- more on dark matter in the Galaxy
