Expanding associations in the Vela-Puppis region: 3D structure and kinematics of the young population
T. Cantat-Gaudin, C. Jordi, N. J. Wright +9
The Vela-Puppis region is known to host the Vela OB2 association as well as several young clusters featuring OB and pre-main sequence stars. Several spatial and kinematic subgroups…
Gaia DR2 unravels incompleteness of nearby cluster population: New open clusters in the direction of Perseus
T. Cantat-Gaudin, A. Krone-Martins, N. Sedaghat +13
Open clusters (OCs) are popular tracers of the structure and evolutionary history of the Galactic disk. The OC population is often considered to be complete within 1.8 kpc of the S…
A ring in a shell: the large-scale 6D structure of the Vela OB2 complex
T. Cantat-Gaudin, M. Mapelli, L. Balaguer-Núñez +3
The Vela OB2 association is a group of 10 Myr stars exhibiting a complex spatial and kinematic substructure. The all-sky Gaia DR2 catalogue contains proper motions, parallaxes (a p…
A new method for unveiling Open Clusters in Gaia: new nearby Open Clusters confirmed by DR2
A. Castro-Ginard, C. Jordi, X. Luri +4
The publication of the Gaia Data Release 2 (Gaia DR2) opens a new era in Astronomy. It includes precise astrometric data (positions, proper motions and parallaxes) for more than $1…
Gaia Data Release 2: Mapping the Milky Way disc kinematics
Gaia Collaboration, D. Katz, T. Antoja +12
To illustrate the potential of GDR2, we provide a first look at the kinematics of the Milky Way disc, within a radius of several kiloparsecs around the Sun. We benefit for the firs…
Characterising Open Clusters in the solar neighbourhood with the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution
T. Cantat-Gaudin, A. Vallenari, R. Sordo +8
The Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) subset of the first Gaia catalogue contains an unprecedented sample of proper motions and parallaxes for two million stars brighter than…
