For more than a century astronomer used the Gould's Belt model, an expanding ring composed of gas, dust and young stars, to explain the distribution of the most prominent star-forming regions in the Solar neighborhood. The recent discovery of a wave-shaped gaseous structure (i.e., the Radcliffe Wave) that extends by more than 2 kpc and encompasses most of the molecular clouds complexes in…
The study of the dynamical evolution of young stellar clusters in time offers one unique possibility to reconstruct the local history of star formation. This project aims to implement a tool to perform traceback analyses of stellar groups by integrating the orbits of the stars back in time using the state-of-the-art astrometry delivered by the Gaia satellite, radial velocity data from spe…
Colour-colour diagrams are frequently used in astronomy to detect and classify young stellar objects based on their infrared excess emission. This is mostly done by imposing manual photometric selection constraints to define the locus for each object class in specific diagrams. This project aims to develop a detection and classification tool for young stellar objects based on machine-lear…
Astronomy is experiencing a rapid growth in data volume and complexity with the operationof several large-scale astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic surveys. The useof machine-learning methods combining data from different surveys is the key to makenew discoveries. This project aims to identify new young stellar groups in the Solar neighbourhood by searching for over-densities of st…

The recent data release of the Gaia space mission has allowed the discovery of young stellar groups in the Solar neighbourhood that have not yet been explored. This project aims to investigate these groups in more detail based on the astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic data delivered by the large-scale astronomical surveys of the sky. The student will compile the lists of known mem…
To reliably determine the main physical parameters (mass and age) of young stars we must know their distance. A precise determination of masses and ages is required to constrain the disk lifetime and can provide indications about the timescale of planet formation. While the average distance to nearby star-forming regions (< 200 pc) is often known, the distances to individual stars are usu…
The DANCe project is a ground-based survey aiming to complement the Gaia space mission (i) beyond the satellite's detection limit down to the planetary mass regime, and (ii) in regions of high extinction where Gaia will be completely blind. The DANCe survey provides very deep and high precision astrometry of young stars in nearby star-forming regions that are very often deeply embedded (e…
