The publication of the Gaia catalogue and improvements in methods to determine
memberships and fundamental parameters of open clusters has led to major advances in …

Context. Among the most central open questions regarding the initial mass function (IMF) of
stars is the impact of environment on the shape of the core mass function (CMF) and thus …

We quantify the spatial distribution of stars for two subclusters centred around the
massive/intermediate-mass stars S Mon and IRS 1/2 in the NGC 2264 star-forming region …

Fast, ejected stars have been found around several young star-forming regions, such as the
Orion Nebula Cluster. These ejected stars can be used to constrain the initial density, spatial …

Context. The mass segregation of stellar clusters could be primordial rather than dynamical.
Despite the abundance of studies of mass segregation for stellar clusters, those for stellar …

The dominant formation mechanism of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects (PMOs) in
star-forming regions is presently uncertain. Do they form like stars, via the collapse and …

Context. There are a number of methods that identify stellar sub-structure in star forming
regions, but these do not quantify the degree of association of individual stars–something …

ABSTRACT Canis Major OB1 (CMa OB1) is a Galactic stellar association with a very
intriguing star-formation scenario. There are more than two dozen known star clusters in its …

Context. Better understanding of star formation in clusters with high-mass stars requires
rigorous dynamical and spatial analyses of star-forming regions. Aims. We seek to …

Context. The spatial and dynamical structure of star-forming regions can offer insights into
stellar formation patterns. The amount of data from current and upcoming surveys calls for …
