Lithium abundances in the old open cluster NGC 3960 from VLT/FLAMES observations
Context. Old open clusters are very useful targets to investigate mechanisms responsible for lithium (Li) depletion during the main sequence. Comparison of the Li abundances in clusters of different age allows us to understand the efficiency of the Li destruction process. Aims. Our goal is the determination of membership and Li abundance in a sample of candidate members of the open cluster NGC ...
متن کاملThe Stellar Mass Spectrum of the Open Cluster NGC 3293
We have obtained and analyzed UBVRI CCD frames of the young, 4–10Myr, open cluster NGC 3293 and the surrounding field in order to study its stellar content and determine the cluster’s IMF. We found significantly fewer lower mass stars, M ≤ 2.5M⊙, than expected. This is particularly so if a single age for the cluster of 4.6Myr is adopted as derived from fitting evolutionary models to the upper m...
متن کاملPhotometric and spectroscopic study of the intermediate age open cluster NGC 3960 ⋆
We present CCD UBV I photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of the intermediate age open cluster NGC 3960. The colour magnitude diagrams (CMDs) derived from the photometric data and interpreted with the synthetic CMD method allow us to estimate the cluster parameters. We derive: age τ = 0.9 or 0.6 Gyr (depending on whether or not overshooting from convective regions is included in the adop...
متن کاملUBVRI CCD photometry of the old open cluster NGC 6253 ⋆
We present UBVRI photometry for the old open cluster NGC 6253. From comparison of the observed colour-magnitude diagrams with simulations based on stellar evolutionary models we derive in a self consistent way reddening, distance, and age of the cluster: E(B−V)= 0.23–0.32, (m-M)0 = 10.9±0.1, metallicity roughly double than solar, and age ≃ 3 Gyr. The cluster has a binary sequence, discernible e...
متن کاملThe red stellar population in NGC 1569
Agency ABSTRACT We present HST NICMOS photometry of the resolved stellar population in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) in the F110W and F160W photometric bands contains ∼2400 stars with a formal photometric error ∼ < 0.1 mag down to m F110W ≈ 23.5 and m F160W ≈ 22.5. The fiducial photometry has a completeness factor higher than 50% down to m F110W ≈ 21.5 a...
