The Nearby Star Formation and Supernova Histories Reconstructed from Young Star Clusters
Cameren Swiggum, Catherine Zucker, Michelangelo Pantaleoni González +8
We reconstruct the recent star formation and core-collapse supernova (ccSN) histories of the Solar Neighborhood from the past trajectories of young star clusters. Using a \textit{G…
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…
Insights into star formation and dispersal from the synchronisation of stellar clocks
Núria Miret Roig, João Alves, David Barrado +3
Age is one of the most fundamental parameters of stars, yet it is one of the hardest to determine as it requires modelling various aspects of stellar formation and evolution. When…
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…
Roman Early-Definition Astrophysics Survey Opportunity: Galactic Roman Infrared Plane Survey (GRIPS)
Roberta Paladini, Catherine Zucker, Robert Benjamin +67
A wide-field near-infrared survey of the Galactic disk and bulge/bar(s) is supported by a large representation of the community of Galactic astronomers. The combination of sensitiv…
The star formation history of the Sco-Cen association. Coherent star formation patterns in space and time
Sebastian Ratzenböck, Josefa E. Großschedl, João Alves +13
We reconstruct the star formation history of the Sco-Cen OB association using a novel high-resolution age map of the region. We develop an approach to produce robust ages for Sco-C…
A 3D View of Orion: I. Barnard's Loop
Michael M. Foley, Alyssa Goodman, Catherine Zucker +11
Barnard's Loop is a famous arc of H emission located in the Orion star-forming region. Here, we provide evidence of a possible formation mechanism for Barnard's Loop and compare…
Characterizing the 3D Kinematics of Young Stars in the Radcliffe Wave
Alan J. Tu, Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle +5
We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping.…
The Radcliffe Wave as the gas spine of the Orion Arm
Cameren Swiggum, João Alves, Elena D'Onghia +7
The Radcliffe Wave is a kpc long coherent gas structure containing most of the star-forming complexes near the Sun. In this Letter we aim to find a Galactic context for the…
Star formation near the Sun is driven by expansion of the Local Bubble
Catherine Zucker, Alyssa A. Goodman, João Alves +8
For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust. However,…
Evidence of a vertical kinematic oscillation beyond the Radcliffe Wave
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Eloisa Poggio +5
The Radcliffe Wave (RW) is a recently discovered sinusoidal vertical feature of dense gas in the proximity of the Sun. In the disk plane, it is aligned with the Local Arm. However,…
Relativistic bands in the discrete spectrum of created particles in an oscillating cavity
Danilo T. Alves, Edney R. Granhen, João Paulo da S. Alves +1
We investigate the dynamical Casimir effect for a one-dimensional resonant cavity, with one oscillating mirror. Specifically, we study the discrete spectrum of created particles in…
Orion Revisited - I. The massive cluster in front of the Orion Nebula Cluster
J. Alves, H. Bouy
The aim of this work is to characterize the stellar population between Earth and the Orion A molecular cloud where the well known star formation benchmark Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC…
The Inevitable Future of the Starless Core Barnard 68
Andreas Burkert, Joao Alves
Dense, small molecular cloud cores have been identified as the direct progenitors of stars. One of the best studied examples is Barnard 68 which is considered a prototype stable, s…
