Accelerated gas flow along Ophiuchus B44 filament: Breaking Position-Position-Velocity degeneracy

J. Alves, C. Zucker, C. Lada +15

(Abridged) Stellar feedback from massive stars in the Upper-Sco has been proposed to have reshaped the gas in the nearby Ophiuchus complex. In this framework, feedback organizes th…

A Parsec-Scale Catalog of Molecular Clouds in the Solar Neighborhood Based on 3D Dust Mapping: Implications for the Mass-Size Relation

Shlomo Cahlon, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman +2

We dendrogram the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map, leveraging its pc spatial resolution to produce a uniform catalog of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood. Using acc…

The Solar Neighborhood in the Age of Gaia

Catherine Zucker, João Alves, Alyssa Goodman +2

Most of what we know about the formation of stars, and essentially everything we know about the formation of planets, comes from observations of our solar neighborhood within 2 kpc…

Significance Mode Analysis (SigMA) for hierarchical structures. An application to the Sco-Cen OB association

Sebastian Ratzenböck, Josefa E. Großschedl, Torsten Möller +3

We present a new clustering method, Significance Mode Analysis (SigMA), to extract co-spatial and co-moving stellar populations from large-scale surveys such as ESA Gaia. The metho…

The star formation history of Upper Scorpius and Ophiuchus

N. Miret-Roig, P. A. B. Galli, J. Olivares +3

We aim to study spatial and kinematic substructures of the region encompassed by Upper Scorpius and Ophiuchus star-forming regions, determining dynamical traceback ages and studyin…

On the Three-Dimensional Structure of Local Molecular Clouds

Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman, João Alves +9

We leverage the 1 pc spatial resolution of the Leike et al. 2020 3D dust map to characterize the three-dimensional structure of nearby molecular clouds ( pc). We st…
