Scientific paper

The stellar populations of the stellar halo and of the thick disk of the
Milky Way reveal much about the merging history that our Galaxy, a typical
large disk galaxy, has experienced. Our current understanding, described here,
implies a rather quiet evolution for the disk, back to redshifts of order 2.
