Seismic constraints on open clusters
The aim of this theoretical and modelling paper is to derive knowledge on the global and structural parameters of low-mass stars using asteroseismology and taking advantage of the stellar collective behavior within open clusters. We build stellar models and compute the seismic signal expected from main sequence objects in the 0. 8 − 1. 6M ⊙ range. We first evaluate apparent magnitudes and oscil...
متن کاملPlanetary dynamics in stellar clusters
We investigate how the formation and evolution of extrasolar planetary systems can be affected by stellar encounters that occur in the crowded conditions of a stellar cluster. Using plausible estimates of cluster evolution, we show how planet formation may be supressed in globular clusters while planets wider than > ∼ 0.1 au that do form in such environments can be ejected from their stellar sy...
متن کاملGalactic Open Clusters
The study of open clusters has a classic feel to it since the subject predates anyone alive today. Despite the age of this topic, I show via an ADS search that its relevance and importance in astronomy has grown faster in the last few decades than astronomy in general. This is surely due to both technical reasons and the interconnection of the field of stellar evolution to many branches of astr...
متن کاملOpen clusters with Hipparcos ?
New memberships, mean parallaxes and proper motions of all 9 open clusters closer than 300 pc (except the Hyades) and 9 rich clusters between 300 and 500 pc have been computed using Hipparcos data. Precisions, ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 mas for parallaxes and 0.1 to 0.5 mas/yr for proper motions, are of great interest for calibrating photometric parallaxes as well as for kinematical studies. Caref...
متن کاملGravitational tidal effects on galactic open clusters
We have investigated the 2–D stellar distribution in the outer parts of three nearby open clusters: NGC 2287 (≡M41), NGC 2516, and NGC 2548 (≡M48). Wide-field star counts have been performed in two colours on pairs of digitized ESO and SRC Schmidt plates, allowing us to select likely cluster members in the colour-magnitude diagrams. Cluster tidal extensions were emphasized using a wavelet trans...
