Discovery of an Unbound Flyby Companion of UBC 63: In the Immediate Aftermath of a Close Encounter
Samrat Biswas, Biman J Medhi, Sergio Messina +8
We re-investigate the open cluster UBC 63 using the Gaia DR3 data and show that, rather than being a single cluster as previously classified, it is a compelling candidate for a dou…
Hot Degenerate Components in Blue Stragglers: A Multi-Wavelength SED Analysis of Nine Open Clusters with Swift/UVOT
Deniz Cennet Çınar, D. Bisht, Selçuk Bilir +2
We present a homogeneous multi-wavelength analysis of 35 blue straggler star (BSS) candidates in nine open clusters, combining Swift/UVOT near-ultraviolet data with Gaia DR3 astrom…
Stellar masses and mass ratios for Gaia open cluster members
Sagar Malhotra, Alfred Castro-Ginard, Friedrich Anders +7
Context: Unresolved binaries in star clusters can bias stellar and cluster mass estimates, making their proper treatment essential for studying cluster dynamics and evolution. Aims…
A catalog of new blue stragglers in open clusters with Gaia DR3
Songmei Qin, Jing Zhong, Friedrich Anders +6
The high-precision {\it Gaia} data release 3 (DR3) enables the discovery of numerous open clusters in the Milky Way, providing an excellent opportunity to search for blue straggler…
Binary clusters in the Galactic disk I: Systematic identification and classification using Gaia DR3
Guimei Liu, Yu Zhang, Jing Zhong +3
Aims. We aim to identify and classify BCs using high-precision astrometric and kinematic data, and to investigate their physical properties, mutual gravitational interactions, and…
Selected open cluster sample for validating atmospheric parameters: Application to Gaia and other surveys
Tong Tang, Songmei Qin, Jing Zhong +2
Reliable stellar atmospheric parameters are essential for probing stellar structure and evolution, and for stellar population studies. However, various deviations appear in compari…
3D projection analysis: characterizing the morphological stability of nearby open clusters
Qingshun Hu, Songmei Qin, Yangping Luo +1
Context. The study of open cluster morphology is pivotal for exploring their formation and evolutionary processes. Aims. We manage to assess the morphological stability of 105 near…
Unveiling the Binary Nature of NGC 2323
Songmei Qin, Jing Zhong, Tong Tang +9
As a well-known open cluster, NGC 2323 (also called M50) has been widely investigated for over a hundred years and has always been considered a classical single cluster. In this wo…
Exploration of morphological coherence in open clusters with a "core-shell'' structure
Qingshun Hu, Yu Zhang, Songmei Qin +3
The study of their morphological coherence allows us to obtain a better understanding of the morphological evolution of open clusters. We employed the ellipsoid fitting method to d…
A fast-rotating blue straggler star in the tidal tail of the open cluster NGC 752
Chunyan Li, Jing Zhong, Songmei Qin +3
NGC 752 is a famous Galactic open cluster of intermediate age. In recent works, a very long and asymmetric tail was newly revealed. A blue straggler star (BSS) at the periphery of…
The role of tidal interactions in the formation of slowly rotating early-type stars in young star clusters
Chenyu He, Chengyuan Li, Weijia Sun +9
The split main sequences found in the colour-magnitude diagrams of star clusters younger than ~600 Myr are suggested to be caused by the dichotomy of stellar rotation rates of uppe…
Hunting for Neighboring Open Clusters with Gaia DR3: 101 New Open Clusters within 500 pc
Songmei Qin, Jing Zhong, Tong Tang +1
We systematically searched for open clusters in the solar neighborhood within 500 pc using pyUPMASK and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms based on {\it Gaia} DR3. Taking into considera…
