NGC 1605 is not a binary cluster

Friedrich Anders, Alfred Castro-Ginard, Juan Casado +2

The open star cluster NGC 1605 has recently been reported to in fact consist of two clusters (one intermediate-aged and one old) that merged via a flyby capture. Here we show that…

Hunting for open clusters in Gaia EDR3: new open clusters found with OCfinder

A. Castro-Ginard, C. Jordi, X. Luri +6

The improvements in the precision of the published data in \textit{Gaia} EDR3 with respect to \textit{Gaia} DR2, particularly for parallaxes and proper motions, offer the opportuni…

OCCASO IV. Radial Velocities and Open Cluster Kinematics

R. Carrera, L. Casamiquela, J. Carbajo-Hijarrubia +8

Context: Open clusters (OCs) are widely used as test particles to investigate a variety of astrophysical phenomena, from stellar evolution to Galactic evolution. Gaia and the compl…

Abundance-age relations with red clump stars in open clusters

L. Casamiquela, C. Soubiran, P. Jofré +8

Context: Precise chemical abundances coupled with reliable ages are key ingredients to understand the chemical history of our Galaxy. Open Clusters (OCs) are useful for this purpos…

Gaia Early Data Release 3: Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds

Gaia Collaboration, X. Luri, L. Chemin +417

We compare the Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 performances in the study of the Magellanic Clouds and show the clear improvements in precision and accuracy in the new release. We also show…

The star cluster age function in the Galactic disc with Gaia DR2: Fewer old clusters and a low cluster formation efficiency

Friedrich Anders, Tristan Cantat-Gaudin, Irene Quadrino-Lodoso +4

We perform a systematic reanalysis of the age distribution of Galactic open star clusters. Using a catalogue of homogeneously determined ages for 834 open clusters contained in a 2…
