HURACAN: A comparison of stellar and interstellar proper motions inside L1688

M. Piecka, J. Alves, A. Rottensteiner +3

The assumption that molecular clouds are kinematically coupled to the young stellar populations forming within them is observationally still poorly constrained. With the transverse…

Accelerated gas flow along Ophiuchus B44 filament: Breaking Position-Position-Velocity degeneracy

J. Alves, C. Zucker, C. Lada +15

(Abridged) Stellar feedback from massive stars in the Upper-Sco has been proposed to have reshaped the gas in the nearby Ophiuchus complex. In this framework, feedback organizes th…

Direct measurement of ISM proper motion with image registration

M. Piecka, L. Posch, S. Meingast +3

To date, quantification of the on-sky motion for interstellar clouds have relied on proxies such as young stellar objects (YSO) and masers. We present the first direct measurement…

The velocity field of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association

S. Hutschenreuter, J. Alves, L. Posch +5

We present a non-parametric reconstruction of the three-dimensional velocity field of the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association (Sco- Cen). Using Gaia DR3 astrometry and radial velocit…

The TW Hydrae Association is a cluster chain of Sco-Cen

N. Miret-Roig, J. Alves, S. Ratzenböck +9

The TW Hydrae Association (TWA) is a young local association (YLA) about 50 pc from the Sun, offering a unique opportunity to study star and planet formation processes in detail. W…

The physical properties of Cluster Chains

Laura Posch, João Alves, Nuria Mirét-Roig +5

We explore the kinematics and star formation history of the Scorpius Centaurus (Sco-Cen) OB association following the initial identification of sequential, linearly aligned chains…

The "C": The large Chameleon-Musca-Coalsack cloud

Gordian Edenhofer, João Alves, Catherine Zucker +2

Recent advancements in 3D dust mapping have transformed our understanding of the Milky Way's local interstellar medium, enabling us to explore its structure in three spatial dimens…

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…

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…

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…
