Stellar tracers yield homogeneous 3D kinematics for 15 nearby molecular clouds, with YSOs and open clusters agreeing to a median 2 km/s offset and evidence of 5-sigma expansion in Orion and Ophiuchus.
These values are mainly aligned with those obtained with the YSOs, while the OCs show a slightly larger difference

A homogeneous three-dimensional view of Molecular Cloud kinematics out to 2.5 kpc. Using Young Stellar Objects and Open Clusters as complementary tracers
Stellar tracers yield homogeneous 3D kinematics for 15 nearby molecular clouds, with YSOs and open clusters agreeing to a median 2 km/s offset and evidence of 5-sigma expansion in Orion and Ophiuchus.
