Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way: III. 139 new open clusters at high Galactic latitudes [PDF]

open access: green, 2014
Context. An earlier analysis of the Milky Way Star Cluster (MWSC) catalogue revealed an apparent lack of old (t â?¤ 1 Gyr) open clusters in the solar neighbourhood (d â?¥ 1 kpc). Aims.

An analytical description of the disruption of star clusters in tidal fields with an application to Galactic open clusters [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2005
We present a simple analytical description of the disruption of star clusters in a tidal field, which agrees excellently with detailed N-body simulations.

Galactic rotation parameters from data on open star clusters

open access: yesAstronomy Letters, 2007
Currently available data on the field of velocities Vr, Vl, Vb for open star clusters are used to perform a kinematic analysis of various samples that differ by heliocentric distance, age, and membership in individual structures (the Orion, Carina ...

Double Compact Binary Merger Rate Density in Open Star Clusters: Black Holes, Neutron Stars, and White Dwarfs

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
Studying compact object binary mergers in star clusters is crucial for understanding stellar evolution and dynamical interactions in galaxies. Open clusters in particular are more abundant over cosmic time than globular clusters.

Unveiling Hidden Stellar Aggregates in the Milky Way: 1656 New Star Clusters Found in Gaia EDR3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
We report 1656 new star clusters found in the Galactic disk (∣ b ∣ < 20°) beyond 1.2 kpc, using Gaia EDR3 data. Based on an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm, DBSCAN, and following our previous studies, we utilized a unique method to do the data ...

Blind Search of the Solar Neighborhood Galactic Disk within 5 kpc: 1179 New Star Clusters Found in Gaia DR3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Studying open clusters (OCs) may help to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. Many previous studies have systematically searched for OCs near the solar system within 1.2 kpc or 20° of Galactic latitude ...
