The Sun's Birth Environment: Context for Meteoritics

S Desch, N Miret-Roig - Space Science Reviews, 2024 - Springer
Meteorites trace planet formation in the Sun's protoplanetary disk, but they also record the
influence of the Sun's birth environment. Whether the Sun formed in a region like Taurus …

The star formation history of the Sco-Cen association-Coherent star formation patterns in space and time

S Ratzenböck, JE Großschedl, J Alves… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
We reconstructed the star formation history of the Sco-Cen OB association using a novel
