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. buff.ly/45AJbSC

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." ✨ 📷 (c) ESO/STScI Digitized Sky Survey

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… #RadWave #RadWaveWaving #RadWaveMotion #astrophysics #astronomy #Harvard

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. medienportal.univie.ac.at/me…

Did you see the new infrared images of star-forming regions we just released? One of them has 520 megapixels! 🤯 Here's a game: 🔍 zoom all the way in with the link below 🖼️ take a screenshot of an interesting area 🗨️ and post it as a reply below 🔗 orlo.uk/73Ypo

This picture is reminiscent to the arms of external spiral galaxies, indicating that the Radcliffe Wave and its individual star-forming regions are a great laboratory for studying density-wave theories in the Milky Way.

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

Evidence of a vertical kinematic oscillation beyond the Radcliffe Wave

The Radcliffe Wave (RW) is a recently discovered sinusoidal vertical feature of dense gas in the proximity of the Sun. In the disk plane, it is aligned with the Local Arm. However, the origin of...
