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 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…
