A catalog of known Galactic K-M stars of class I, candidate RSGs, in Gaia DR2

Maria Messineo, Anthony G. A Brown

We investigate individual distances and luminosities of a sample of 889 nearby candidate red supergiants with reliable parallaxes (plx/plxerr > 4 and RUWE < 2.7) from Gaia DR2. The…

An artificial neural network to discover Hypervelocity stars: Candidates in Gaia DR1/TGAS

T. Marchetti, E. M. Rossi, G. Kordopatis +5

The paucity of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) known to date has severely hampered their potential to investigate the stellar population of the Galactic Centre and the Galactic Potentia…

The evolution of the Sun's birth cluster and the search for the solar siblings with Gaia

C. A. Martínez-Barbosa, A. G. A. Brown, T. Boekholt +3

We use self-consistent numerical simulations of the evolution and disruption of the Sun's birth cluster in the Milky Way potential to investigate the present-day phase space distri…

The solar siblings in the Gaia era

C. A. Martínez-Barbosa, A. G. A. Brown, S. Portegies Zwart

We perform realistic simulations of the Sun's birth cluster in order to predict the current distribution of solar siblings in the Galaxy. We study the possibility of finding the so…

Radial Migration of the Sun in the Milky Way: a Statistical Study

C. A. Martínez-Barbosa, A. G. A Brown, S. Portegies Zwart

The determination of the birth radius of the Sun is important to understand the evolution and consequent disruption of the Sun's birth cluster in the Galaxy. Motivated by this fact…
