The Canis Major (CMa) region is known for its prominent arc-shaped morphology, visible at multiple wavelengths. This study integrates molecular gas data with high-precision astrometric parameters of young stellar objects (YSOs) from Gaia DR3 to provide the first three-dimensional (3D) insights into the dynamical evolution and star formation history of the CMa region. By utilizing the average distances and proper motions of the YSOs as proxies for those of the molecular clouds (MCs), we confirm the presence of a slowly expanding shell-like morphology in the CMa region, with the estimated radius of 47$\pm$11 pc and expansion velocity of 1.6$\pm$0.7 km/s. Further, the dynamical evolution of the shell supports its expansion, with an expansion timescale of $\sim$4.4 Myr obtained by the traceback analysis assuming constant velocities. Finally, a momentum estimate suggests that at least 2 supernova explosions (SNe) are needed to power the observed expanding shell, reinforcing the previous hypothesis of multiple SNe events. This study effectively combines the CO data with the astrometric data of YSOs from Gaia, offering significant support for the future studies on the 3D morphology and kinematics of MCs.

3D Morphology of Open Clusters in the Solar Neighborhood with Gaia EDR3 II: Hierarchical Star Formation Revealed by Spatial and Kinematic Substructures
我们使用机器学习算法StarGO基于盖亚EDR 3数据识别了太阳附近65个疏散星团的成员。在添加来自先前研究(Pang et al. 2021 a,b; Li et al. 2021)的20个簇的成员之后,我们获得85个簇,并研究它们的形态学和运动学。我们将潮汐半径外的子结构分为四类:$<100$ Myr的分形(f1)和分形(f2),$>100$ Myr的晕(h)和潮尾(t)。f1型星系团的运动学亚结构是拉长的;它们类似于被破坏的星系团X。运动学的尾巴在t型星团中是不同的,特别是昂宿星。我们确定了29个层次组在四个年轻的地区(Alessi 20,IC 348,LP 2373,LP 2442),其中十个是新的。这些等级群体形成了细丝网络。两个区域(Alessi 20,LP 2373)呈现出全球性的“正交”膨胀(恒星运动垂直于暗条),这可能会导致完全的扩散。在UBC 31和IC 348区域的相关等级群中发现了类似于入射流(沿着暗条的恒星运动)。LP 2442区域(LP 2442 gp 1-5)的恒星群在空间上混合良好,但在运动学上是一致的。合并过程可能正在LP 2442子组中进行。对于较年轻的系统($\lesssim30$ Myr),平均轴比,集群质量和半质量半径往往随着年龄值的增加。这些结构参数之间的相关性可能意味着在年轻恒星群的等级形成情景中发生的两个动力学过程:(1)细丝溶解和(…

Runaways and shells around the CMa OB1 association
弧形的Sh 2 -296星云的起源仍然不清楚。主要由于其形态,该星云被认为是一个50万年前的超新星遗迹(SNR),可能在CMa OB 1星协中引发恒星形成。我们的目标是第一次表明,该星云是一个巨大的壳状结构的一部分,我们将其命名为“CMa壳”,其中包含一个由连续超新星(SN)爆炸产生的气泡。我们确定了三个失控的恒星,与弓激波结构,在CMa壳的方向,我们调查的可能性,他们起源于壳的中心。通过分析CMa OB 1星协在几个波长下的图像,我们清楚地看到,Sh 2 -296星云实际上是一个大结构的一部分,它可以近似为一个大的(直径约为60 pc)椭圆壳。利用最近的Gaia-DR 2天体测量数据,我们追溯了三颗逃逸星的路径,以找到它们过去的原始位置,与CMa壳层的关系。我们还通过比较该区域O星提供的光子收支与射电观测结果,修正了Sh 2 -296星云的加热和电离。我们发现,逃逸恒星可能是从一个类似梯形的祖先星团中连续三次发生的超新星爆炸中弹射出来的,分别发生在~ 600万年前、~ 200万年前和~ 100万年前。我们还指出,该区域的少数晚型O星不能解释Sh~2-296星云的电离,需要其他机制的作用。我们认为,虽然我们现在有几个SNe事件的CMa OB 1协会的证据,SNe可能在触发这些云的恒星形成中发挥了次要作用。相比之下,CMa OB 1协会,就像现在一样,可能证明了恒星形成区域的最后阶段…
