The Stellar "Snake"-V: the census within 3 kpc in the Solar Neighborhood

Xiang-Ming Yang, Ju-Yong Zhang, Hai-Jun Tian

We present a Gaia DR3 source-level catalogue of Stellar Snake complexes within 3 kpc of the Sun. We define a Stellar Snake as a mutually coherent association of stellar overdensiti…
