OB Associations and their origins

NJ Wright - New Astronomy Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
OB associations are unbound groups of young stars made prominent by their bright OB
members, and have long been thought to be the expanded remnants of dense star clusters …

Clusters and mirages: cataloguing stellar aggregates in the Milky Way

T Cantat-Gaudin, F Anders - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 - aanda.org
