The programme "Milky Way" for a complex study of the structure, kinematics and evolution of the Galaxy is outlined. In the framework of the programme new astrometric and astrophysical observations are carried out. Preliminary results concerning the structure of regions of star formation, the motions

## Abstract The combination of dispersion measures of pulsars, distances from the model of Cordes & Lazio (2002) and emission measures from the WHAM survey enabled a statistical study of electron densities and filling factors of the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Milky Way. The emission measures
We have derived the star formation history of the Milky Way disk over the last 2 Gyr from the age distribution diagram of a large sample of open clusters comprising more than 580 objects. By interpreting the age distribution diagram using numerical results from an extensive library of N -body calcul
I review our current understanding of positron sources in the Galaxy, on the basis of the reported properties of the observed 511 keV annihilation line. It is argued here that most of the disk positrons propagate away from the disk (due to the low density environment) and the resulting low surface b
On-off intermittency is investigated in one-way coupled chaotic systems at the threshold of weak synchronization that is characterized by a fractal synchronization manifold. Unlike the conventional on-off intermittency, where the system dynamics is determined by escape of trajectories from an unstab
