Colloquium – Leandro Beraldo e Silva’s “Co-formation of the Milky Way’s Thin and Thick Discs”
"Co-formation of the Milky Way's Thin and Thick Discs" Abstract: Thin disc stars are younger than thick disc stars on average, and some models predict the thin disc to start forming only after the thick disc has formed, around 10 Gyr ago. According to these sequential scenarios, no significant old thin disc population should exist. In this talk, I will show recent observational evidence for the presence of an old thin disc in the MW. I will discuss how the…

Powerful Galactic Winds and the Gas around Galaxies Abstract: Our understanding of galaxy evolution centers around questions of how gas gets into galaxies, how it participates in star formation and black hole growth, and how it is returned to its galactic surroundings via feedback. I will present observational results for a sample of compact starburst galaxies that are driving fast outflows (at z>0.4) and for a sample of local galaxies with spatially extended outflows identified in spatially resolved spectroscopy (at…

"A Collage of Exoplanets on the Mass-Period Diagram" Abstract: I will talk about different populations of exoplanets and their interconnection. Specifically, I will present chemical composition measurements for hot Jupiters and directly-imaged young jovian planets, in an attempt to answer questions such as how stellar chemical composition controls the planet formation; how the difference of planetary and stellar chemical abundance reveals the history of orbital migration. In addition, I will highlight the recent progress in comparative planetology by contrasting (1)…
