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…
The Radcliffe wave \cite{2020Natur.578..237A} is a 2.7 kpc long, 100 pc wide-like structure in the Galactic disk with a wave-like velocity structure \cite{2022MNRAS.517L.102L,2024arXiv240212596K}. A referent Nature paper…
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…
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…
The Radcliffe Wave (RW) is a recently discovered sinusoidal vertical feature of dense gas in the proximity of the Sun. In the disk plane, it is aligned with the Local Arm. However, the origin of its vertical undulation is still unknown.…
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…
We investigate the geometry of the magnetic field towards the Radcliffe Wave, a coherent 3-kpc-long part of the nearby Local Arm recently discovered via three-dimensional dust mapping. We use archival stellar polarization in the optical and…
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…
Recent 3D dust maps of the local Milky Way are revolutionizing our understanding of the Sun's Galactic neighborhood, providing much needed insight into the large-scale organization of the interstellar medium. Focusing on the largest scales…
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…
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…
A spectral analysis of the vertical positions and velocities of 374 open star clusters (OSCs) was carried out. We took these OSCs from the Hunt, Reffert catalog; they have an average age of about 10 million years, and are located on the…
It is suggested that the wavelike character of the recently discovered 2.7-kiloparsec spatially and kinematically coherent complex of interstellar clouds in the solar neighborhood--the Radcliffe Wave--may be the result of a Kelvin-Helmholtz…
We analyse the three-dimensional structure and kinematics of two samples of young stars in the Galactic disc, containing respectively young giants ($\sim$17$\, $000 stars out to heliocentric distances of $\sim$7 kpc) and classical Cepheids…
The Radcliffe Wave has only recently been recognised as a about 3 kpc long coherent gas structure encompassing most of the star forming regions in the solar vicinity. Since its discovery, it has been mainly studied from the perspective of…
The Sun lies in the middle of an enormous cavity of a million degree gas, known as the Local Bubble. The Local Bubble is surrounded by a wall of denser neutral and ionized gas. The Local Bubble extends around 100 pc in the plane of Galaxy…
Based on currently available data on the three-dimensional field of space velocities of young (<50 Myr) open star clusters and the radial velocities of HI clouds and star-forming (HII) regions, we have found the Galactic rotation curve in…
Context. As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to…
Four samples of open star clusters (OSCs) with average ages of 5.2, 18.6, 40, and 61 Myr have been analyzed. The selection of these OSCs was carried out from a narrow region inclined to the galactic axis y at an angle of 25$^\circ$. The…
A review of publications devoted to the study of the characteristics of the Radcliffe wave has been given. The advent of mass measurements of radial velocities of stars has recently led to a number of interesting results obtained from the…
