We are planning to use data from the Gaia space telescope complemented by the spectroscopic information from wide-area multiplex surveys like APOGEE and GALAH to perform modelling of the dynamics and structure of the Milky Way, including the distributions of stars and dark matter. We will investigate a range of models including but not limited to Jeans models, distribution function models and made-to-measure models. In addition, it is likely we will use realistic simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies to study its various components. A portion of the PhD will investigate perturbations of the known tidal streams by known Dark Matter sub-halos, i.e. by the observed Galactic satellites such as the Sgr dwarf. We are also planning to look into variations of the Milky Way structure and dynamics as a function of its accretion history.

我们计划使用来自Gaia空间望远镜的数据，并通过广阔区域多重调查（如Apogee和Galah）的光谱信息进行补充，以对银河系的动态和结构进行建模，包括星星和暗物质的分布。我们将研究一系列模型，包括但不限于牛仔裤模型，分配功能模型和制作量化模型。此外，我们很可能会使用银河系样星系进行现实的模拟来研究其各种组件。博士的一部分将通过已知的暗物质sub-Halos（即通过观察到的银河卫星（如SGR矮人））研究已知的潮汐流的扰动。我们还计划将银河系结构和动态的变化作为其积聚历史的函数。
