On The Dynamics Of The Milky Way And Its Satellites In The Gaia Era

We live in a new era in Astrophysics driven by the launch of the European satellite Gaia. Gaia is currently mapping our Galaxy by measuring distances and motions of one billion stars with exquisite accuracy and unprecedented detail. It is fair to say that the impact of this space mission on our understanding of galaxy evolution and dynamics will be extraordinary. Last September, Gaia produced its first data release. In this talk I will present some first results from the exploration of this dataset.
