The Evolutionary History of the Milky Way

  • K.C. Freeman (a1)
Abstract

The accretion of small satellite galaxies appears to have been important in the formation of the metal-poor halo of the Galaxy. The disrupting Sgr dwarf galaxy and the recent discovery of a young, metal-poor component of the halo indicate that this is a continuing process. The evolution of the galactic disk, and some consequences of the bar-like nature of the galactic bulge are briefly discussed.
