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…

Distance Estimates to Five Bok Globules Using Gaia DR3 Parallaxes and Near-Infrared Photometry: Validation with 3D Dust Maps
Rajat Subhra Paul, Himadri Sekhar Das
Accurate distances to small, opaque Bok globules are difficult to obtain due to their compact sizes and lack of embedded standard candles. We estimate distances to five globules --…

Probing the magnetic fields and dust properties in the young embedded star-forming region AFGL 6366S using Near Infrared and Optical linear polarimetry
Samrat Biswas, Biman J Medhi, Motohide Tamura +2
We present Near-Infrared (NIR) and Optical linear polarimetry towards the partially embedded cluster AFGL 6366S. The polarization ranges from 0.44-10.3 per cent in NIR and 0.16-11.…
