We give here the Table of Contents and clickable links to papers of the proceedings from the workshop Asteroseismology of Stellar Populations in the Milky Way, held in Sesto, 22-26 July 2013. The aim of this workshop was to foster collaborations and discussions between expert researchers in Galactic evolution, specialists in stellar structure and asteroseismology, and key representatives of extensive ground-based spectroscopic surveys such as APOGEE and the ESO-Gaia Spectroscopic Survey. The workshop was devoted to discussing first results achieved by combining spectroscopic and seismic constraints on populations of stars observed by CoRoT and Kepler, and the relevance of CoRoT and Kepler surveys in the context of future Gaia observations.

We present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra of 22 bright ($9<V<13.5$) metal-poor stars ($-3.18<mbox{[Fe/H]}<-1.37$) in three different stellar streams, the Helmi debris stream, the Helmi trail stream, and the $omega$ Centauri progenitor stream. We augment our Helmi debris sample with results for ten stars by Roederer et al. 2010 (arXiv:1001.1745), for a total of 32 stars. Detailed chemical abundances of light elements as well as heavy neutron-capture elements have been determined for our 22 stars. All three streams contain carbon-enhanced stars. For 13 stars, neutron-capture element lines were detectable and they all show signatures in agreement with the scaled solar $r$-process pattern, albeit with a large spread of $-0.5<mbox{[Eu/Fe]}<+1.3$. Eight of these stars show an additional small $s$-process contribution superposed onto their $r$-process pattern. This could be discerned because of the relatively high $S/N$ of the spectra given that the stars are close by in the halo. Our results suggest that the progenitors of these streams experienced one or more $r$-process events, such as a neutron star merger or another prolific $r$-process source, early on that widely enriched these host systems before their accretion by the Milky Way. The small $s$-process contribution suggests the presence of AGB stars and associated local (inhomogeneous) enrichment as part of the ongoing chemical evolution by low mass stars. Stars in stellar streams may thus be a promising avenue for studying the detailed history of large dwarf galaxies and their role in halo assembly with easily accessible targets for high-quality spectra of many stars.
In the $Gaia$ era stellar kinematics are extensively used to study Galactic halo stellar populations, to search for halo structures, and to characterize the interface between the halo and hot disc populations. We use distribution function-based model s of modern datasets with 6D phase space data to qualitatively describe a variety of kinematic spaces commonly used in the study of the Galactic halo. Furthermore, we quantitatively assess how well each kinematic space can separate radially anisotropic from isotropic halo populations. We find that scaled action space (the ``action diamond) is superior to other commonly used kinematic spaces at this task. We present a new, easy to implement selection criterion for members of the radially-anisotropic $Gaia$-Enceladus merger remnant, which we find achieves a sample purity of 82 per cent in our models with respect to contamination from the more isotropic halo. We compare this criterion to literature criteria, finding that it produces the highest purity in the resulting samples, at the expense of a modest reduction in completeness. We also show that selection biases that underlie nearly all contemporary spectroscopic datasets can noticeably impact the $E-L_{z}$ distribution of samples in a manner that may be confused for real substructure. We conclude by providing recommendations for how authors should use stellar kinematics in the future to study the Galactic stellar halo.

The detection of solar-like oscillations in G and K giants with the CoRoT and Kepler space-based satellites allows robust constraints to be set on the mass and radius of such stars. The availability of these constraints for thousands of giants sampli ng different regions of the Galaxy promises to enrich our understanding on the Milky Ways constituents. In this contribution we briefly recall which are the relevant constraints that red-giant seismology can currently provide to the study of stellar populations. We then present, for a few nearby stars, the comparison between radius and mass determined using seismic scaling relations and those obtained by other methods.

We review spectroscopic results concerning multiple stellar populations in globularclusters. The cluster initial mass is the most important parameter determining the fraction of second generation stars. The threshold for the onset of the multiple pop ulation phenomenon is 1-3x10^5 MSun. Nucleosynthesis is influenced by metallicity: Na/O and Mg/Al anti-correlations are more extended in metal-poor than in metal-rich clusters. Massive clusters are more complex systems than the smaller ones, with several populations characterized by different chemical compositions. The high Li abundance observed in the intermediate second generation stars strongly favours intermediate mass AGB stars as polluters for this class of stars; however, it is well possible that the polluters of extreme second generation stars, that often do not have measurable Li, may be fast rotating massive stars or super-massive stars. The mass budget factor should be a function of the cluster mass, and needs to be large only in massive clusters.
We present a new theoretical population synthesis model (the Galaxy Model) to examine and deal with large amounts of data from surveys of the Milky Way and to decipher the present and past structure and history of our own Galaxy. We assume the Galaxy to consist of a superposition of many composite stellar populations belonging to the thin and thick disks, the stellar halo and the bulge, and to be surrounded by a single dark matter halo component. A global model for the Milky Ways gravitational potential is built up self-consistently with the density profiles from the Poisson equation. In turn, these density profiles are used to generate synthetic probability distribution functions (PDFs) for the distribution of stars in colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). Finally, the gravitational potential is used to constrain the stellar kinematics by means of the moment method on a (perturbed)-distribution function. Spiral arms perturb the axisymmetric disk distribution functions in the linear response framework of density-wave theory where we present an analytical formula of the so-called `reduction factor using Hypergeometric functions. Finally, we consider an analytical non-axisymmetric model of extinction and an algorithm based on the concept of probability distribution function to handle colour magnitude diagrams with a large number of stars. A genetic algorithm is presented to investigate both the photometric and kinematic parameter space. This galaxy model represents the natural framework to reconstruct the structure of the Milky Way from the heterogeneous data set of surveys such as Gaia-ESO, SEGUE, APOGEE2, RAVE and the Gaia mission.
