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…
The superclumps of the local Milky Way. Supercloud fragmentation and the sites of star formation
Lilly A. Kormann, João Alves, Emily L. Hunt
Using a Gaia-based 3D dust map of the solar neighborhood, we analyze the internal structure of the seven local superclouds. We identify quasi-periodic density enhancements along th…
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…
Unveiling the Milky Way with a Gaia DR3 census of OB-type stars within 2 kpc. I. Tracing local Galactic structure, massive star-forming regions and core-collapse supernova progenitors
Alexis L. Quintana, Kiril Maltsev, Eloisa Poggio +10
O- and B-type stars are young and hot, thereby serving as vital tracers of the star formation and spiral arm structure of the Milky Way. At the dusk of the \textit{Gaia} DR3 era, a…
The Astrosky Ecosystem: An independent online platform for science communication and social networking
Emily L. Hunt, Vincent S. Carpenter, Kyle W. Cook +5
While almost everything that astronomers study occurs in the vacuum of space, astronomy itself does not `happen in a vacuum'. Interactions between scientists, as well as outreach t…
The Secret Lives of Open Clusters: a Multiwavelength Examination of Three Open Clusters
Kristen C. Dage, Emily L. Hunt, Jasmine Anderson-Baldwin +11
Star clusters are well known for their dynamical interactions, an outcome of their high stellar densities; in this paper we use multiwavelength observations to search for the uniqu…
Toward the fabric of the Milky Way I. The density of disk streams from a local pc volume
Sebastian Ratzenböck, João Alves, Emily L. Hunt +3
We studied 12 disk streams found in a 250 pc volume in the solar neighborhood, which we define as coeval and comoving stellar structures with aspect ratios greater than 3:1…
A bird's eye view of stellar evolution through populations of variable stars in Galactic open clusters
Richard I. Anderson, Emily L. Hunt
Both star clusters and variable stars are sensitive laboratories of stellar astrophysics and evolution: cluster member stars provide context for interpreting cluster populations, w…
How many stars form in compact clusters in the local Milky Way?
Alexis L. Quintana, Emily L. Hunt, Hanna Parul
Two main models coexist for the environment in which stars form. The clustered model stipulates that the bulk of star formation occurs within dense embedded clusters, but only a mi…
