The star formation history of Orion is structured and episodic
Alena Rottensteiner, João Alves, Stefan Meingast +6
The propagation of star formation throughout a molecular cloud complex can tell us much about its physical drivers and the importance of environmental versus intrinsic processes. W…
The dispersal law of young star clusters: free expansion -- A Gaia/eROSITA census of Orion and Sco--Cen
João Alves, Stefan Meingast, Alena Rottensteiner
We measure how young star clusters disperse over time in the two nearest star-forming complexes. Our sample comprises 44 \texttt{SigMA}-\textit{Gaia}-defined clusters in Orion and…
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…
A comprehensive cluster census of Orion. An application of the Significance Mode Analysis (SigMA) algorithm
Alena Rottensteiner, Sebastian Ratzenböck, João Alves +2
Precise astrometric surveys and modern clustering algorithms are working in step to transform our view of star-forming regions. By revealing a much richer substructure than previou…
Kinematics of young stellar objects in NGC 2024 based on infrared proper motions
Alena Rottensteiner, Monika G. Petr-Gotzens, Stefan Meingast +6
The most recently formed young stellar objects (YSOs) in active star forming regions are excellent tracers of their parent cloud motion. Their positions and dynamics provide insigh…
An empirical isochrone archive for nearby open clusters
Alena Rottensteiner, Stefan Meingast
The ages of star clusters and co-moving stellar groups contain essential information about the Milky Way. Their special properties make them excellent tracers of galactic structure…
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…
Extended stellar systems in the solar neighborhood -- V. Discovery of coronae of nearby star clusters
Stefan Meingast, João Alves, Alena Rottensteiner
In this paper, we present a novel view on the morphology and the dynamical state of 10 prominent, nearby ( 500 pc), and young (30-300 Myr) open star clusters with Gaia…
