Dynamical and chemical evolution of open clusters with Gaia DR3 and the Gaia-ESO Survey
Understanding the dynamical evolution of open clusters is essential for unveiling the properties of the Galactic disc. In this talk, we will explore the temporal evolution of the kinematics of Galactic open clusters using Gaia DR3 data, adopting a dual approach that examines both external perturbations and internal kinematic evolution. Complementing this dynamical perspective, we incorporate high-resolution spectroscopic data from the Gaia-ESO Survey to trace the chemical evolution of open clusters across different Galactocentric distances. This integrated analysis provides a deeper understanding of cluster formation, migration, and dissolution processes, as well as their role in shaping the chemical enrichment of the Milky Way. By probing the oldest open clusters, we highlight their significance as key tracers for deciphering the complex interplay between Galactic dynamics and chemical evolution.
