Roche volume filling and the dissolution of open star clusters [PDF]
, 2015 From direct N-body simulations we find that the dynamical evolution of star clusters is strongly influenced by the Roche volume filling factor. We present a parameter study of the dissolution of open star clusters with different Roche volume filling ...

Three new Galactic star clusters discovered in the field of the open cluster NGC 5999 withGaia DR2 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We report the serendipitous discovery of three new open clusters, named UFMG 1, UFMG 2 and UFMG 3 in the field of the intermediate-age cluster NGC 5999, by using Gaia DR2 data.

Binary Star Evolution in Different Environments: Filamentary, Fractal, Halo, and Tidal Tail Clusters
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Using membership of 85 open clusters from previous studies based on Gaia Data Release 3 data, we identify binary candidates in the color–magnitude diagram for systems with mass ratio q > 0.4.

The Binary INformation from Open Clusters Using SEDs (BINOCS) Project: Reliable Photometric Mass Determinations of Binary Star Systems in Clusters [PDF]
, 2021 We introduce a new binary detection technique, Binary INformation from Open Clusters using SEDs (binocs), which we show is able to determine reliable stellar multiplicity and masses over a much larger mass range than current approaches.

DYNAMICAL INTERACTIONS MAKE HOT JUPITERS IN OPEN STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
, 2014 Explaining the origin and evolution of exoplanetary hot Jupiters remains a significant challenge. One possible mechanism for the production of hot Jupiters is planet–planet interactions, which produce them from planets born far from their host stars but ...

Evolution and appearance of Be stars in SMC clusters [PDF]
, 2009 Star clusters are privileged laboratories for studying the evolution of massive stars (OB stars). One particularly interesting question concerns the phases, during which the classical Be stars occur, which unlike HAe/Be stars, are not pre-main sequence ...

Membership Analysis and 3D Kinematics of the Star-forming Complex around Trumpler 37 Using Gaia-DR3
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Identifying and characterizing young populations of star-forming regions are crucial to unraveling their properties. In this regard, Gaia-DR3 data and machine-learning tools are very useful for studying large star-forming complexes.

On the possible generation of the young massive open clusters Stephenson2 and BDSB122 by Omega Centauri [PDF]
, 2009 A massive objects such as a globular cluster passing through the disk of a galaxy can trigger star formation. We test the hypothesis that the most massive globular cluster in the Galaxy, $\omega$ Centauri, which crossed the disk approximately $24\pm2 ...
