We systematically searched for open clusters in the solar neighborhood within 500 pc using the pyUPMASK and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms based on Gaia DR3. Taking into consideration that the physical size for most open clusters is less than 50 pc, we adopted a slicing approach for different distanc...
