Visuals

We provide links to visuals for a better comprehension of the 3D structures and 3D dynamics of the investigated regions.

• Sco-Cen 3D cluster distribution of 37 clusters in the Scorpio-Centaurus OB association as extracted with SigMA (Ratzenböck, Großschedl et al. 2023a).
• Sco-Cen Spatial-Temporal Age patterns of 34 clusters (Ratzenböck, Großschedl et al. 2023b).
• The Orion-Big-Blast-Event or Orion-BB - Interactive figure from Großschedl et al. (2021), showing the 3D dynamics of molecular clouds in the Orion complex. A dynamical trace-back of the orbits revealed that the clouds in Orion have been closer in space about 6 Million years ago, and that they show an expanding motion on the 100-pc scale since then. This indicates external influences, for example, feedback from massive stars originating from the older generations of stellar populations in Orion, like stellar winds, ionizing radiation, or particluar supernovae (SN).

• The Radcliffe Wave - Interactive figure from Alves et al. (2020)
• The Origin of the Local Bubble - Interactive figure from Zucker et al. (2022)
• Cluster expansion at the core of the Orion complex, and 3D distribution of the involved clusters (OBP-near and Briceño-1) surrounded by dust clouds - Interactive figures from Swiggum et al. (2021)
• 3D distribution of the two stellar populations toward rho Ophiuchus - Interactive figure from Grasser et al. (2021)
