Riding the kinematic waves on the Milky Way disk with Gaia

In this presentation, we summarize the main results of our work on the morphology and evolution of the known and new moving groups, which has been possible thanks to the Gaia DR2 RVS sample. The gradients observed in azimuthal and radial velocities with Galactocentric radius are crucial for the understanding of the dynamics of our galaxy. Thus, we quantify in detail their characteristics which will allows us to disentangle their dynamical origin. 

Here, we also discuss the follow-up works, which use simulations to understand the imprints of the different dynamical mechanisms and compare them to the data, confirming the main conclusions drawn by our analysis.
