If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Alicante 1 is an open cluster located in the Milky Way galaxy, within the Auriga constellation. Open clusters are groups of stars formed from the same molecular cloud, bound loosely by mutual gravitational attraction. Alicante 1, specifically, is part of the larger star-forming region around Auriga. It is home to several young stars, with an estimated age of a few million years, making it a relatively young cluster in astronomical terms. The stars within open clusters like Alicante 1 are useful for studying stellar evolution because they formed around the same time and from the same material. This cluster, along with others in the Aur OB2 region, is part of a larger star-forming complex that includes nearby clusters such as Stock 8. [1] [2]
Alicante 1 gained attention due to its association with larger star-forming complexes in the Auriga Constellation and the contact binary star MY Camelopardalis Star-forming regions like this are vital for understanding the processes that govern the birth of stars and the evolution of galaxies. Alicante 1, being in a region dense with stellar activity, is significant for astronomers examining how Star clusters develop and disperse over time. Additionally, its distance from Earth, about 2,600 light-years, makes it accessible for observation using advanced telescopes, offering insights into early stellar development. [2]
The Aur OB2 association, which includes Alicante 1, has been the focus of numerous studies due to its significance in understanding star formation in massive regions. The presence of massive O-Type stars in this region, such as LSV+34°23, suggests that Alicante 1 and its neighboring clusters contribute to the ionization of surrounding nebulae, including Sh 2-234. These ionization processes, along with the formation of pre-main-sequence stars within Alicante 1, offer key insights into the dynamics of young star clusters [1] [2]
Research into open clusters such as Alicante 1 also helps in understanding the dynamics of star clusters, including how they interact with the interstellar medium and their future dispersion. Studying clusters like Alicante 1 provides valuable data that informs models of stellar lifecycles and the large-scale structure of the galaxy. The uniformity of the stars’ origins in clusters makes them ideal laboratories for comparing theoretical models of star formation with observed data. [1]
