Discovery of two nearby post-T Tauri stellar associations

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 $α$, $δ$, $μ_α$ , $μ_δ$ and $π$ 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 $M_{\odot}$ are at the stage of post-T Tauri.
