Characterising the Kinematics and Evolution of Young Stellar Groups within 1 kpc of the Sun Using Gaia DR3

Long-Fei Ding, Yun-Qian Li, Bing-Qiu Chen +2

Star-forming regions are key to understanding the formation and early evolution of stars. Young stellar objects (YSOs) form groups with distinct kinematic and spatial properties, i…

A recent re-acceleration of the Local Bubble revealed by kinematics of young star associations

Guang-Ya Zeng, Guang-Xing Li, Bing-Qiu Chen +2

The low-density region of the interstellar medium (ISM) where the Sun is located is known as the Local Bubble, a cavity filled with high-temperature and low-density plasma that may…

The Correlation Between Dust and Gas Contents in Molecular Clouds

Rui-Zhi Li, Bing-Qiu Chen, Guang-Xing Li +3

Molecular clouds are regions of dense gas and dust in space where new stars and planets are born. There is a strong correlation between the distribution of dust and molecular gas i…

Morphology of molecular clouds at kiloparsec scale in the Milky Way: Shear-induced alignment and vertical confinement

Yi-Heng Xie, Guang-Xing Li, Bing-Qiu Chen

The shape of the cold interstellar molecular gas is determined by several processes, including self-gravity, tidal force, turbulence, magnetic field, and galactic shear. Based on t…
