The disrupting and growing open cluster spiral arm patterns of the Milky Way
Xiaochen Liu, Zhihong He, Yangping Luo +1
Star clusters provide unique advantages for investigating Galactic spiral arms, particularly due to their precise ages, positions, and kinematic properties, which are further enhan…
Survey for Distant Stellar Aggregates in Galactic Disk: Detecting Two Thousand Star Clusters and Candidates, along with the Dwarf Galaxy IC10
Zhihong He, Yangping Luo, Kun Wang +5
Despite having data for over 10^9 stars from Gaia, only less than 10^4 star clusters and candidates have been discovered. Particularly, distant star clusters are rarely identified,…
Unveiling hidden stellar aggregates in the Milky Way: 1656 new star clusters found in Gaia EDR3
Zhihong He, Xiaochen Liu, Yangping Luo +2
We report 1,656 new star clusters found in the Galactic disk (|b|<20 degrees) beyond 1.2 kpc, using Gaia EDR3 data. Based on an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, DBSCAN, and…
A Blind All-sky Search for Star Clusters in Gaia EDR3: 886 Clusters within 1.2 kpc of the Sun
Zhihong He, Kun Wang, Yangping Luo +3
Although previous searches for star clusters have been very successful, many clusters are likely still omitted, especially at high Galactic latitude regions. In this work, based on…
