Moving groups
The list of young moving groups is constantly evolving. The Banyan Σ tool currently lists 29 nearby young moving groups Recent additions to nearby moving groups are the Volans-Carina Association (VCA), discovered with Gaia, and the Argus Association (ARG), confirmed with Gaia. Moving groups can sometimes be further subdivided in smaller distinct groups. The Great Austral Young Association (GAYA) complex was found to be subdivided into the moving groups Carina, Columba, and Tucana-Horologium. The three Associations are not very distinct from each other, and have similar kinematic properties.
