  We perform realistic simulations of the Sun's birth cluster in order to
predict the current distribution of solar siblings in the Galaxy. We study the
possibility of finding the solar siblings in the Gaia catalogue by using only
positional and kinematic information. We find that the number of solar siblings
predicted to be observed by Gaia will be around 100 in the most optimistic
case, and that a phase space only search in the Gaia catalogue will be
extremely difficult. It is therefore mandatory to combine the chemical tagging
technique with phase space selection criteria in order to have any hope of
finding the solar siblings.
