The fading hierarchy of Galactic open clusters

Guimei Liu, João Alves, Yu Zhang +7

Galactic open clusters provide a record of both hierarchical star formation and the subsequent dynamical evolution of the Milky Way disk. We use the two-point correlation function…

Revisiting the Radial Velocities of Nearby Open Clusters using Gaia DR3

Tong Tang, Yu Zhang, Jing Zhong +4

Open clusters (OCs) are essential laboratories for probing stellar dynamics and tracing the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Accurate measurements of their average radial…

New Open Cluster candidates Found in Galactic Disk Using Gaia DR2/EDR3 Data

Zhihong He, Chunyan Li, Jing Zhong +6

We report 541 new open cluster candidates in Gaia EDR3 through revisiting the cluster results from an earlier analysis of the Gaia DR2, which revealed nearly a thousand open cluste…
