Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia Color-Magnitude Diagram fitting
The overarching goal of ChronoGal is to unveil the sequence of events and physical processes that have shaped the Milky Way (MW) from its early assembly to the present, by providing the holy grail of Galactic Archaeology (GA): precise age information. Our Galaxy is key to study disk galaxy formation and evolution, as it can be analyzed in exceptional detail using individual stars carrying the fossil record of its entire evolution. The importance of GA is underscored by the vast resources invested in it: Gaia parallaxes, homogeneous photometry, proper motions and velocities have transformed the field, aided by a huge effort from ambitious ground-based spectroscopic surveys.
