    Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances for large samples of Galactic stars, complementing Gaia astrometry. Among those surveys, the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey, the only one performed on a 8m class telescope, was designed to target 100 000 stars using FLAMES on the ESO VLT (both Giraffe and UVES spectrographs), covering all the Milky Way populations, with a special focus on open star clusters.

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: a quiescent Milky Way with no significant dark/stellar accreted disc(a similar to...)
    (OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015) Ruchti, G. R.; Read, J. I.; Feltzing, S.; Serenelli, A. M.; McMillan, P.; Lind, K.; Bensby, T.; Bergemann, M.; Asplund, M.; Vallenari, A.; Flaccomio, E.; Pancino, E.; Korn, A. J.; Recio Blanco, A.; Bayo, A.; Carraro, G.; Costado, M. T.; Damiani, F.; Heiter, U.; Hourihane, A.; Jofre, P.; Kordopatis, G.; Lardo, C.; de Laverny, P.; Monaco, L.; Morbidelli, L.; Sbordone, L.; Worley, C. C.; Zaggia, S.
    According to our current cosmological model, galaxies like the Milky Way are expected to experience many mergers over their lifetimes. The most massive of the merging galaxies will be dragged towards the disc plane, depositing stars and dark matter into an accreted disc structure. In this work, we utilize the chemodynamical template developed in Ruchti et al. to hunt for accreted stars. We apply the template to a sample of 4675 stars in the third internal data release from the Gaia-ESO Spectroscopic Survey. We find a significant component of accreted halo stars, but find no evidence of an accreted disc component. This suggests that the Milky Way has had a rather quiescent merger history since its disc formed some 8-10 billion years ago and therefore possesses no significant dark matter disc.

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: radial distribution of abundances in the Galactic disc from open clusters and young-field stars
    (EDP SCIENCES S A, 2017) Magrini, L.; Randich, S.; Kordopatis, G.; Prantzos, N.; Romano, D.; Ffi, A.

    Context. The spatial distribution of elemental abundances in the disc of our Galaxy gives insights both on its assembly process and subsequent evolution, and on the stellar nucleogenesis of the different elements. Gradients can be traced using several types of objects as, for instance, (young and old) stars, open clusters, HII regions, planetary nebulae.

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: Sodium and aluminium abundances in giants and dwarfs Implications for stellar and Galactic chemical evolution
    (EDP SCIENCES S A, 2016) Smiljanic, R.; Romano, D.; Bragaglia, A.; Donati, P.; Magrini, L.; Friel, E.; Jacobson, H.; Randich, S.; Ventura, P.; Lind, K.; Bergemann, M.; Nordlander, T.; Morel, T.; Pancino, E.; Tautvaisiene, G.; Adibekyan, V.; Tosi, M.; Vallenari, A.; Gilmore, G.; Bensby, T.; Francois, P.; Koposov, S.; Lanzafame, A.

C.; Zaggia, S.
    Context. Stellar evolution models predict that internal mixing should cause some sodium overabundance at the surface of red giants more massive than similar to 1.5-2.0 M-circle dot. The surface aluminium abundance should not be affected. Nevertheless, observational results disagree about the presence and/or the degree of Na and Al overabundances. In addition, Galactic chemical evolution models adopting different stellar yields lead to very different predictions for the behavior of [Na/Fe] and [Al/Fe] versus [Fe/H]. Overall, the observed trends of these abundances with metallicity are not well reproduced.
