Gaia EDR3 distances of the young stellar clusters in the extended Carina Nebula complex. (2022)

Keywords : stars formation - stars: pre-main sequence - open clusters and associations: general

Abstract:The Carina Nebula Complex (CNC) is one of the most massive and active star forming regions in our Galaxy and contains several large young star clusters. The distances of the individual clusters and their physical connection was only poorly known up to now, with strongly discrepant results reported in the literature. We want to determine reliable distances of the young stellar clusters in the central Carina Nebula region (in particular Tr 14, 15, and 16) and the prominent clusters NGC 3324 and NGC 3293 in the north-western periphery of the CNC. ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
The sample of OB stars in the CNC is based on Smith (2006MNRAS.367..763S), Shull et al. (2021ApJ...914...18S), Preibisch et al. (2014A&A...564A.120P), Evans et al. (2005A&A...437..467E, Cat. J/A+A/437/467) and Preibisch et al. (2021A&A...648A..34P, Cat. J/A+A/648/A34). The table contains the Gaia EDR3 astrometric properties (position, parallax), the stellar type and the stellar cluster of the OB stars.
