The unprecedented quality of the astrometric measurements obtained with the ESA Gaia
spacecraft have initiated a revolution in Milky Way astronomy. Studies of star clusters in …

For decades we have known that the Sun lies within the Local Bubble, a cavity of low-
density, high-temperature plasma surrounded by a shell of cold, neutral gas and dust …

Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been
started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental …

Context. Understanding how star formation begins and propagates through molecular
clouds is a fundamental but still open question. One major difficulty in addressing this …

We systematically searched for open clusters in the solar neighborhood within 500 pc using
the pyUPMASK and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms based on Gaia DR3. Taking into …

We reconstructed the star formation history of the Sco-Cen OB association using a novel
high-resolution age map of the region. We developed an approach to produce robust ages …

Context. The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a public, high-resolution spectroscopic survey,
conducted with the multi-object spectrograph Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph …

I have used high-precision photometry and astrometry from the early installment of the third
data release of Gaia (EDR3) to perform a survey for members of the stellar populations …

Context. Surveys of protoplanetary disks in nearby star-forming regions (SFRs) have
provided important information on their demographics. However, due to their sample sizes …

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 …
