Understanding the early phases of assembly and formation of galaxies is a challenge. ... The IAU symposium 317 at the XXIX IAU GA in 2015 will take place at the verge of a revolution that is brought about by the availability of unprecedent new data, provided by the Gaia satellite, space telescopes (HST, Spitzer) and by a number of large ground-based spectroscopic and photometric surveys of the Milky Way, M31 and external galaxies. ...

Since the first stars and then galaxies formed the Universe has been an immense factory converting neutral gas into stellar material. ... In this seminar I will discuss recent results from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, probing the assembly of stellar mass though both in-situ star formation (as traced by multiple SFR indicators) and interactions (both mergers and interaction induced star-formation) - in galaxies spanning ~4 decades in stellar mass. ...

Authors: V.A. Marsakov , T.V. Borkova , . ... It is shown that general populations of globular clusters and metal-poor field stars are components at least of three subsystems occupying different volumes in the Galaxy. The thick disk and proto-disk subsystems are genetically associated with the Galaxy. ... It is argued that heavy-element enrichment and the collapse of the proto-galactic medium occurred mainly in the period between the formation of the proto-disk halo and thick disk subsystems. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...
