Runaway OB stars within 1 kpc of the Sun
Juan Martinez Garcia, Nicholas Wright, Alexis Quintana
Runaway stars are high-velocity stars ejected from their birth environments that can provide insights into the kinematic history of the stellar cluster they were ejected from. We d…

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…

A census of OB stars within 1 kpc and the star formation and core collapse supernova rates of the Milky Way
Alexis L. Quintana, Nicholas J. Wright, Juan Martínez García
OB stars are crucial for our understanding of Galactic structure, star formation, stellar feedback and multiplicity. In this paper we have compiled a census of all OB stars within…
