Black hole-neutron star and neutron star-neutron star mergers are powerful emitters of gravitational waves, and can produce a wide range of bright electromagnetic transients. They also provide us with a remarkable environment to study nuclear interactions in the cold, dense core of neutron stars, and may significantly contribute to the production of many heavy elements whose origin remains unexplained.

The arm structure of the Milky Way remains somewhat of an unknown, with observational studies hindered by our location within the Galactic disk. We present the results of a project aimed at constraining the global structure of the Milky Way through numerous numerical simulations and synthetic observations.
