2 September 2025 10:00 to 11:00 | Seminar Alice Mori, PhD student at Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy Abstract: In the hierarchical mass assembly framework, the accretion history of the Milky Way is crucial to understand its evolution. Previous studies have shown that integrals of motion (such as energy and angular momentum) are not strictly conserved during massive mergers, leading to a b
