Star formation in the circumgalactic high-velocity cloud Complex H

Zhihong He, Wenkang Pang, Kun Wang +2

The accretion of metal-poor gas sustains galactic star formation. In the Milky Way, this process is fueled by high-velocity clouds (HVCs), yet their fundamental properties have rem…

Gaia DR3 Open Cluster Cepheids: A Unified Catalog with Calibrated Period-Age and Period-Wesenheit Relations

Shunhong Deng, Zhihong He, Anbing Ren +7

Classical Cepheids (CCs) in Galactic open clusters (OCs) provide essential observational constraints for calibrating the period-age relation (PAR) and the period-Wesenheit relation…

Census of Blue Straggler Stars in Distant Open Clusters and Maximum Fractional Mass Excess of OC BSS

Qian Cui, Zhihong He, Shunhong Deng +4

We identified blue straggler stars (BSSs) in 53 open clusters utilizing data from Gaia DR3. Most of these clusters are situated in the outer regions of the Galactic disc, encompass…

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,…

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…
