A homogeneous three-dimensional view of Molecular Cloud kinematics out to 2.5 kpc. Using Young Stellar Objects and Open Clusters as complementary tracers
Xabier Pérez-Couto, Santiago Torres, Nuria Miret-Roig +4
Understanding the large-scale dynamics of molecular clouds (MCs) is crucial for constraining the processes that govern star formation and the structure and evolution of the Galaxy.…
The internal kinematics of local young stellar associations. Identifying correlations among age, expansion, rotation, and shear
J. Olivares, N. Miret-Roig, P. A. B. Galli
Context. The local (<200 pc away) young (<50 Myr old) stellar associations (LYSA) provide fundamental evidence for the study of the star formation process in the local neighbourhoo…
Toward the fabric of the Milky Way I. The density of disk streams from a local pc volume
Sebastian Ratzenböck, João Alves, Emily L. Hunt +3
We studied 12 disk streams found in a 250 pc volume in the solar neighborhood, which we define as coeval and comoving stellar structures with aspect ratios greater than 3:1…
The evolution of velocity dispersion in the Sco-Cen OB association
Josefa E. Großschedl, João Alves, Sebastian Ratzenböck +4
We study how the stellar velocity dispersion within the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association (Sco-Cen) has evolved over approximately 20 million years, from its formation to the prese…
The velocity field of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association
S. Hutschenreuter, J. Alves, L. Posch +5
We present a non-parametric reconstruction of the three-dimensional velocity field of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association (Sco- Cen). Using Gaia DR3 astrometry and radial velocit…
The Solar System's passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle Miocene
E. Maconi, J. Alves, C. Swiggum +14
Context. As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compr…
Gaia dr3 reveals the complex dynamical evolution within star clusters
C. Viscasillas Vázquez, L. Magrini, N. Miret-Roig +6
Context: Star clusters, composed of stars born from the same molecular cloud, serve as invaluable natural laboratories for understanding the fundamental processes governing stellar…
Dynamical traceback age of the Octans young stellar association
P. A. B. Galli, N. Miret-Roig, H. Bouy +2
Octans is one of the most distant (pc) young stellar associations of the solar neighbourhood. Its age is still poorly constrained in the literature and requires further i…
Most nearby young star clusters formed in three massive complexes
Cameren Swiggum, João Alves, Robert Benjamin +9
Efforts to unveil the structure of the local interstellar medium and its recent star formation history have spanned the past seventy years. Recent studies utilizing precise data fr…
The Radcliffe Wave is Oscillating
Ralf Konietzka, Alyssa A. Goodman, Catherine Zucker +6
Our Sun lies within 300 pc of the 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal chain of dense gas clouds known as the Radcliffe Wave. The structure's wave-like shape was discovered using 3D dust mappin…
Evaporation Ages: a New Dating Method for Young Star Clusters
V. -M. Pelkonen, N. Miret-Roig, P. Padoan
The ages of young star clusters are fundamental clocks to constrain the formation and evolution of pre-main-sequence stars and their protoplanetary disks and exoplanets. However, d…
The Corona Australis star formation complex is accelerating away from the Galactic plane
L. Posch, N. Miret-Roig, J. Alves +5
We study the kinematics of the recently discovered Corona Australis (CrA) chain of clusters by examining the 3D space motion of its young stars using Gaia DR3 and APOGEE-2 data. Wh…
VISIONS: The VISTA Star Formation Atlas -- I. Survey overview
Stefan Meingast, João Alves, Hervé Bouy +37
VISIONS is an ESO public survey of five nearby (d < 500 pc) star-forming molecular cloud complexes that are canonically associated with the constellations of Chamaeleon, Corona Aus…
The star formation history of Upper Scorpius and Ophiuchus
N. Miret-Roig, P. A. B. Galli, J. Olivares +3
We aim to study spatial and kinematic substructures of the region encompassed by Upper Scorpius and Ophiuchus star-forming regions, determining dynamical traceback ages and studyin…
Structural parameters of 389 local Open Clusters
Y. Tarricq, C. Soubiran, L. Casamiquela +4
The distribution of member stars in the surroundings of an Open Cluster (OC) can shed light on the process of its formation, evolution and dissolution. The analysis of structural p…
Dynamical traceback age of the Pictoris moving group
N. Miret-Roig, P. A. B. Galli, W. Brandner +7
Context: The Pictoris moving group is one of the most well-known young associations in the solar neighbourhood and several members are known to host circumstellar discs, planet…
