Astronomers have pressed rewind on a cosmic video of the solar neighborhood, tracing the origins of young star clusters within 3,000 light-years of the Sun.

I love this new paper on the history of this neck of the galaxy!
Over a hundred young star clusters near to the Sun can be traced back to just *three* distinct star-forming regions. This is a *huge* result for studying our own galaxy!
The work is out today in Nature, led by Cameren Swiggum in Vienna: arxiv.org/abs/2406.06510

New research led by @mac0598 & @joaoalves from #univienna and @bobabenjamin from @UWWhitewater reveals that many nearby star clusters originate from just three "families." ✨

Ein internationales Astronom*innenteam, unter Leitung von @mac0598 und @joaoalves der #univie, hat herausgefunden, dass nahegelegene Sternhaufen von nur drei „Familien“ stammen. Supernovae aus diesen Regionen haben vermutlich auch die Gasverteilung in der Milchstraße beeinflusst.

Our Sun’s backyard not only looks like a wave – it also moves like one.
The Radcliffe Wave is Waving! 🔭💫
Curious? Read about it now in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Benachbarte Sternhaufen bewegen sich als Welle! ✨🌊 @joaoalves der #univie und Forscher*innen von @Harvard und @LMU_Muenchen entdeckten, dass die geheimnisvolle "Radcliffe-Welle" nicht nur wie eine Welle aussieht, sondern sich auch so bewegt.

Did you see the new infrared images of star-forming regions we just released? One of them has 520 megapixels! 🤯

Cool. We made the cover. Great work (and great figure) by @mac0598. HT @joaoalves

From @perryhelion: Dust mapping with Gaia has changed our perspective on the sun's neighborhood, but how do revelations about the nearby structure of dust fit in with our understanding of the Milky Way's large scale skeletal structure? astrobites.org/2022/06/22/ga…

New student-led paper by @uwastro astronomers, exploring a vertical undulation in Milky Way structure known as the “Radcliffe Wave”. N-body simulations indicate it could arise from impact by a satellite galaxy; DR3/DR4 from @ESAGaia will confirm. arxiv.org/abs/2112.08390

Nearly all star forming regions near the Sun lie on the surface of the Local Bubble, which was inflated by supernovae about 14 million years ago, according to a study published in Nature go.nature.com/3rfuEbg

New coauthered paper on the ArXiv today on the Radcliff Wave, led by Lekshmi Thulasidharan. We find that the kinematics of young objects indeed show evidence of wave-like motion, but that these vertical motions extend well beyond the Radcliff Wave itself.

"Evidence for Radial Expansion at the Core of the Orion Complex with #GaiaEDR3" arxiv.org/abs/2101.10380 by @mac0598 "Evidence of [...] expansion is confined only to OBP-near and Briceño-1 whereas the rest of the groups in the complex show more complicated motions" #GaiaMission

Excited about what's in store for the @ESAGaia data release tomorrow? Revisit some of the mission's exciting discoveries about our Milky Way galaxy so far 👉esa.int/Science_Exploration/… #GaiaEDR3
