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 …

The APOGEE-2 survey of the orion star-forming complex. II. Six-dimensional structure
