Using proper motion data for 894 stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) compiled by Jones & Walker in 1988, we search for binaries with apparent separations in the range 1000-5000 AU, and find an upper limit of three. Using a Monte Carlo…

The origin of the Galactic halo stellar structure known as the Monoceros ring is still under debate. In this work, we study that halo substructure using deep CFHT wide-field photometry obtained for the globular clusters NGC2419 and…

Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) has provided the largest and most astrometrically precise catalogue of nearby stars to date, allowing for a more complete membership census of nearby, young stellar moving groups. These loose associations of young…
