Enlightening the dynamical evolution of Galactic open clusters: an approach using Gaia DR3 and analytical descriptions

M. S. Angelo, J. F. C. Santos, F. F. S. Maia +1

Most stars in our Galaxy form in stellar aggregates, which can become long-lived structures called open clusters (OCs). Along their dynamical evolution, their gradual depletion lea…

Investigating Galactic binary cluster candidates with Gaia EDR3

M. S. Angelo, J. F. C. Santos, F. F. S. Maia +1

A number of stellar open cluster (OC) pairs in the Milky Way occupy similar positions in the phase space (coordinates, parallax and proper motions) and therefore may constitute phy…
