Four samples of open star clusters (OSCs) with average ages of 5.2, 18.6, 40, and 61 Myr have been analyzed. The selection of these OSCs was carried out from a narrow region inclined to the galactic axis y at an angle of 25$^\circ$. The…
The presence of the Radcliffe wave is shown both in the positions and in the vertical velocities of masers and radio stars belonging to the Local Arm. This gives the impression that the structure of the Radcliffe wave is not a wave in the…
The review is devoted to the Radcliffe Wave recently discovered by Alves et al. from the analysis of molecular clouds. These authors singled out a narrow chain of molecular clouds, elongated almost in one line, located at an inclination of…
A sample of 139 young open star clusters closely associated with the Radcliffe wave is considered. Modeling their spatial distribution and kinematics over a time interval of 30 Myrs ago and 30 Myrs into the future revealed that they exhibit…
Our Sun lies within 300 pc of the 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal chain of dense gas clouds known as the Radcliffe Wave. The structure's wave-like shape was discovered using 3D dust mapping, but initial kinematic searches for oscillatory motion…
The Radcliffe Wave is a galactic-scale structure recently proposed by J. Alves et al. (2019). The authors propose that various molecular complexes in the solar environment follow a specific alignment and displacement that make them worthy…
An analysis of the kinematics of open star clusters (OSCs) using their characteristics from the new Hunt and Reffert catalog was conducted. Based on 4003 OSCs younger than 200 million years, the following values for the angular velocity of…
We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping. With Gaia DR2 astrometry and spectroscopy, we analyze the 3D…
We use the observed vertical velocity field, of various young tracers of the gas kinematics, obtained by Li and Chen (2022), Konietzka et al. (2024) and Zhu et al. (2024), in order to test for the existence of turbulence. We do so by…
Recently studies discovered that part of the Gould Belt belongs to a 2.7 kpc-long {coherent, thin} wave consisting of a chain of clouds, where a damped undulation pattern has been identified from the spatial arrangement of the clouds. We…
We have studied the kinematics of Galactic masers and radio stars with measured VLBI trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions. We have considered masers with relative trigonometric parallax errors less than 10\% and determined the…

The Radcliffe Wave is a $\sim3$ kpc long coherent gas structure containing most of the star-forming complexes near the Sun. In this Letter we aim to find a Galactic context for the Radcliffe Wave by looking into a possible relationship…
