Berkeley 59: an expanding cluster described in the study: “Internal dynamics and structure of Cepheus OB4. The asymmetric expansion of Berkeley 59” of B. Wiesneth (Universität Leipzig/Universidade de Lisboa)

Ricerca

Berkeley 59 is a young stellar clusters, which is experiencing a rapid asymmetric expansion   Stars typically form in groups or stellar clusters containing from hundreds to thousands of members. Within these clusters, stars are not stationary but move along trajectories determined by the system’s overall gravity (that is, the gravitational potential of the cluster) and by their mutual interactions.

A first homogeneous study on the dynamics of stellar clusters. The paper: “The Gaia-ESO Survey: 3D dynamics of young groups and clusters from GES and Gaia EDR3” of N. J. Wright (Keele University) recently appeared on MNRAS

Stars do not form in isolation. During gravitational collapse, molecular clouds fragment, forming a large number of stars. For this reason, young stars are typically observed as members of star clusters or associations.   In the past decade, the study of stellar clusters in the Milky Way has undergone a revolution, thanks to observations from the Gaia satellite of the
