The selection function of the Gaia DR3 open cluster census

Emily L. Hunt, Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Friedrich Anders +4

Open clusters are among the most useful and widespread tracers of Galactic structure. The completeness of the Galactic open cluster census, however, remains poorly understood. For…

The completeness of the open cluster census towards the Galactic anticentre

Emily L. Hunt, Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Friedrich Anders +9

Open clusters have long been used as tracers of Galactic structure. However, without a selection function to describe the completeness of the cluster census, it is difficult to qua…

Non-radial oscillations mimicking a brown dwarf orbiting the cluster giant NGC 4349 No. 127

Dane Spaeth, Sabine Reffert, Emily L. Hunt +2

Several evolved stars have been found to exhibit long-period radial velocity variations that cannot be explained by planetary or brown dwarf companions. Non-radial oscillations cau…

Improving the open cluster census. III. Using cluster masses, radii, and dynamics to create a cleaned open cluster catalogue

Emily L. Hunt, Sabine Reffert

The census of open clusters has exploded in size thanks to data from the Gaia satellite. However, it is likely that many of these reported clusters are not gravitationally bound, m…

Improving the open cluster census. II. An all-sky cluster catalogue with Gaia DR3

Emily L. Hunt, Sabine Reffert

Data from the Gaia satellite are revolutionising our understanding of the Milky Way. With every new data release, there is a need to update the census of open clusters. We aim to c…
