SUMMARY:Dynamical Structure in the Galactic disk -- a new Decade of Ga
lactic Discovery\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Alice Quillen\, Univeristy o
f Rochester\, Astronomy & Astrophysics
DESCRIPTION:Soon GAIA observations will increase our knowledge of the
positions and velocities of millions of stars in the our Galaxy.
\
nI will explore how star formation\, spiral structure\, perturbations
and remnants from dwarf galaxies\, and the Galactic bar cause substruc
ture in local stellar velocity distributions.
\nI will discuss cha
llenges in better measuring the shape and stellar distribution of the
Milky Way\, understanding dynamical processes in the disk and its form
ation and past evolution.
