Highlights of Galactic Sciences with ALMA in 2018
Disclaimer: Not an expert in many of the following fields, so it is potentially very biased!
With focuses on: • High-mass (>8 M⊙) star formation in the Galaxy • Galactic Center & the Central Molecular Zone • ISM and star formation in Magellanic clouds • (post-)AGB stars, planetary nebulae, supernova remnants.
