Star clusters are among the first celestial objects catalogued by early astronomers. As
simple and coeval populations, their study has been instrumental in charting the properties …

In this study, we estimate the fraction of binaries with high mass ratios for 202 open clusters
in the extended solar neighbourhood (closer than 1.5 kpc from the Sun). This is one of the …

Astrophysical models of binary-black hole mergers in the universe require a significant
fraction of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) to receive negligible natal kicks to explain the …

With the unprecedented increase in the number of known star clusters, quick and modern
tools are needed for their analysis. In this work, we develop an artificial neural network …

Context. Open clusters (OCs) are fundamental benchmarks where theories of star formation
and stellar evolution can be tested and validated. Coma Berenices (Coma Ber) and …

We present astrolink, an efficient and versatile clustering algorithm designed to
hierarchically classify astrophysically relevant structures from both synthetic and …

Context. Star-forming regions, stellar associations, and open clusters are fundamental stellar
systems where predictions from star-formation theories can be robustly contrasted with …

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 …

As groups of coeval stars born from the same molecular cloud, an open cluster (OC) is an
ideal laboratory for studying the structure and dynamical evolution of the Milky Way. The …
