DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amelia Fraser-McKelvie (ESO Garching)\nTitle: First r
 esults from the GECKOS survey: what 36 of the Milky Way's closest cousins 
 can tell us about our own Galaxy\nAbstract: The Milky Way is the most well
 -studied galaxy in the Universe\, though comparisons to its neighbours pro
 ve difficult\, owing to our location embedded within its disc. One techniq
 ue to overcome this challenge is the study of Milky Way analogues. I will 
 present the GECKOS survey\, a recent ESO VLT/MUSE large programme that obs
 erved 36 nearby Milky Way-mass disc galaxies hosting a range of star forma
 tion rates and structural morphologies. Importantly\, this is the first su
 ch survey of edge-on galaxies\, allowing us to observe these targets at th
 e same geometry that we do the Milky Way. The extraordinary depth of GECKO
 S observations enables studies of faint\, off-plane stellar populations\, 
 and an understanding of the diversity of assembly histories possible for g
 alaxies that have accumulated the same amount of mass as our own. I will s
 ummarise GECKOS and its first results\, including the use of stellar kinem
 atics to define dynamical structures\, stellar populations and assembly hi
 stories of said structures\, galactic outflow science\, and recent dynamic
 al modelling efforts.\n
