Abstract

In this work we report the discovery of 2 new stellar associations in close vicinity of the Sun at roughly 180 and 150 pc. These two associations, named as u Tau assoc and e Tau assoc, were detected based on their clustering in a multi-dimensional parameter space including α{\alpha}, δ{\delta}, μα{\mu}_{\alpha} , μδ{\mu}_{\delta} and π{\pi} of Gaia. The fitting of pre-main-sequence model isochrones in their color-magnitude diagrams suggests that the two associations are of about 50 Myr old and the group members lower than {\sim}0.8 MM_{\odot} are at the stage of post-T Tauri.
