Orbits and radial migration of galactic tracers using Gaia+
Abstract
It will be in the forthcoming years that a large set of stars with full 6D phase space information will be available. In this contribution, we focus on the study of the radial migration stellar kinematic tracers may suffer. By assuming a potential for the Milky Way, we analyze the capabilities of Gaia and future spectroscopic data to trace back in time the orbital evolution of both, Red Clump stars, excellent tracers of large scale disc structure, and the members of the Young Local Associations, nearby stars with accurate astrometry in the upcoming TGAS catalog. By considering different mechanisms causing radial migration, namely the bar and/or the spiral arms, we study future capabilities to ascertain a single origin to these tracers.
