3D kinematics and age distribution of the Open Cluster population

Y. Tarricq, C. Soubiran, L. Casamiquela +14

Open Clusters (OCs) can trace with a great accuracy the evolution of the Galactic disk. The aim of this work is to study the kinematical behavior of the OC population over time. We…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars

Gaia Collaboration, R. L. Smart, L. M. Sarro +420

We produce a clean and well-characterised catalogue of objects within 100\,pc of the Sun from the \G\ Early Data Release 3. We characterise the catalogue through comparisons to the…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Acceleration of the solar system from Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, S. A. Klioner, F. Mignard +414

Context. Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Gaia EDR3) provides accurate astrometry for about 1.6 million compact (QSO-like) extragalactic sources, 1.2 million of which have the best-quali…

SPICY: The Spitzer/IRAC Candidate YSO Catalog for the Inner Galactic Midplane

Michael A. Kuhn, Rafael S. de Souza, Alberto Krone-Martins +4

We present ~120,000 Spitzer/IRAC candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) based on surveys of the Galactic midplane between l~255 deg and 110 deg, including the GLIMPSE I, II, and 3D…

The star cluster age function in the Galactic disc with Gaia DR2: Fewer old clusters and a low cluster formation efficiency

Friedrich Anders, Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Irene Quadrino-Lodoso +4

We perform a systematic reanalysis of the age distribution of Galactic open star clusters. Using a catalogue of homogeneously determined ages for 834 open clusters contained in a 2…

Painting a portrait of the Galactic disc with its stellar clusters

T. Cantat-Gaudin, F. Anders, A. Castro-Ginard +10

The large astrometric and photometric survey performed by the Gaia mission allows for a panoptic view of the Galactic disc and in its stellar cluster population. Hundreds of cluste…

Full 5D characterisation of the Sagittarius stream with Gaia DR2 RR Lyrae

P. Ramos, C. Mateu, T. Antoja +4

The Sagittarius stream is one of the best tools that we currently have to estimate the mass and shape of our Galaxy. However, assigning membership and obtaining the phase-space dis…

Hunting for open clusters in \textit{Gaia} DR2: new OCs in the Galactic disc

A. Castro-Ginard, C. Jordi, X. Luri +8

Open clusters are key targets for both Galaxy structure and evolution and stellar physics studies. Since \textit{Gaia} DR2 publication, the discovery of undetected clusters has pro…
