STREGA@VST: Structure and Evolution of the Galaxy

Marconi, M.; Musella, I.; Ripepi, V.; Martino, De; Silvotti, D.; Capaccioli, R.; Cappellaro, M.; Cignoni, E.; Dall'Ora, M.; Criscienzo, Di; Iodice, M.; Ruoppo, E.; Bono, A.; Brocato, G.; Caputo, E.; Carollo, F.; Castellani, D.; Castellani, M.; Cioni, V.; M. R.,; Degl'Innocenti, Scilla; Momany, S.; Monelli, Y.; Piotto, M.; PRADA MORONI, PIER GIORGIO; Raimondo, G.

In this article we present the survey STREGA, that has been proposed as part of the VST GTO (VLT Survey Telescope Guarantee Time of Observation) that will be given to the INAF-OAC in exchange for the construction of the telescope (see Alcalàet al., this volume). This survey will cover an area of about 150 sq. deg., searching for the southern portion of the Fornax stream, also allowing to study the properties of Disk and Halo White Dwarfs and interacting binaries in different fields at increasing galactic latitudes and to provide an ideal database for star counts and for the comparison with Galactic model predictions. The final aim is to constrain the structure and the evolutionary properties of the Milky Way. For the Fornax Stream this proposal is coordinated with a LBT Science Verification Pilot Project (P.I.: G. Bono).
