Expanding associations in the Vela-Puppis region: 3D structure and kinematics of the young population
T. Cantat-Gaudin, C. Jordi, N. J. Wright +9
The Vela-Puppis region is known to host the Vela OB2 association as well as several young clusters featuring OB and pre-main sequence stars. Several spatial and kinematic subgroups…
The Dynamics of OB Associations
Nicholas J. Wright
The formation and evolution of young star clusters and OB associations is fundamental to our understanding of the star formation process, the conditions faced by young binary and p…
Evolution of spatio-kinematic structures in star-forming regions: are Friends of Friends worth knowing?
Richard J. Parker, Nicholas J. Wright
The Friends of Friends algorithm identifies groups of objects with similar spatial and kinematic properties, and has recently been used extensively to quantify the distributions of…
A sextet of clusters in the Vela OB2 region revealed by Gaia
Giacomo Beccari, Henri M. J. Boffin, Tereza Jerabkova +5
Using Gaia DR2 data, combined with OmegaCAM ground-based optical photometry from the AD-HOC survey, and detailed Radial Velocity measurements from ESO-Gaia, we analyse in detail a…
Massive stars in the hinterland of the young cluster, Westerlund 2
J. E. Drew, A. Herrero, M. Mohr-Smith +4
An unsettled question concerning the formation and distribution of massive stars is whether they must be born in massive clusters and, if found in less dense environments, whether…
The stellar rotation--activity relationship in fully convective M dwarfs
Nicholas J. Wright, Elisabeth R. Newton, Peter K. G. Williams +2
The coronal activity-rotation relationship is considered to be a proxy for the underlying stellar dynamo responsible for magnetic activity in solar and late-type stars. While this…
