dc.description.abstractThe improved astrometry precision of Gaia-eDR3 allows us to perform a detailed study of the Upper Scorpius OB association and revisit its spatial, kinematic, and age substructure. We achieve this by combining clustering techniques and complementing with age estimations based on Gaia photometry. Our census retrieves 3661 candidate members for Upper Scorpius with contamination similar to 9 per cent. We also extract an astrometrically clean sample of 3004 sources with contamination similar to 6 per cent. We show that Upper Scorpius can be divided into at least three main kinematic groups. We systematically investigate and characterize the Upper Scorpius' internal structure, revealing that at least similar to 34 per cent of its stellar populations are contained in seven spatial substructures, with well defined boundaries, kinematics, and relative ages with suggested names: pi Scorpii (20(+/- 1)(+/- 2) Myr), alpha Scorpii (14(+/- 1)(+/- 2) Myr), delta Scorpii (9(+/- 1)(+/- 2) Myr), beta Scorpii (8(+/- 1)(+/- 1) Myr), omega Scorpii (8(+/- 1)(+/- 1) Myr), nu Scorpii (7(+/- 1)(+/- 1)Myr), after their brightest member, and the well known rho Ophiuchi (4(+/- 1)(+/- 1) Myr). We find a clear correlation in (1) density-age, providing an empirical expansion law to be tested in other associations, and (2) tangential velocity-age, providing constrains on the dynamics of these substructures and the position of potential past triggering events. We estimate the time at which four potential supernovae events occurred in Upper Scorpius. Based on these findings, we tie together previous work on the region and suggest a star formation history with unprecedented temporal resolution.
