The Gaia -ESO Survey : Chemical tagging in the thin disk: Open clusters blindly recovered in the elemental abundance space
Context. The chemical makeup of a star provides the fossil information of the environment where it formed. Under this premise, it should be possible to use chemical abundances to tag stars that formed within the same stellar association. This idea - known as chemical tagging - has not produced the expected results, especially within the thin disk where open stellar clusters have chemical patterns
