X - rays from old open clusters : M 67 and NGC 188
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have observed the old open clusters M 67 and NGC 188 with the ROSAT PSPC. In M 67 we detect a variety of X-ray sources. The X-ray emission by a cataclysmic variable, a single hot white dwarf, two contact binaries, and some RS CVn systems is as expected. The X-ray emission by two binaries located below the subgiant branch in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram of the cluster, by a circular binary with a cool white dwarf, and by two eccentric binaries with Pb ∼ > 700 d is puzzling. Two members of NGC 188 are detected, including the FK Com type star D719. Another possible FK Com type star, probably not a member of NGC 188, is also detected.

We analyze ultraviolet (∼ 1500 Å) images of the old open clusters M67, NGC 188, and NGC 6791 obtained with Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) during the second flight of the Astro observatory in March 1995. Twenty stars are detected on the UIT image of M67, including 11 blue stragglers, seven white dwarf candidates, and the yellow giant – white dwarf binary S1040. The ultraviolet photometry of...
متن کاملSpatial dependence of 2 MASS luminosity and mass functions in the old open cluster NGC 188
Luminosity and mass functions in the old open cluster NGC 188 are analysed by means of J and H 2MASS photometry, which provides uniformity and spatial coverage for a proper background subtraction. With an age of about 6–8 Gyr, NGC 188 is expected to be suffering the effects of advanced dynamical evolution. Indeed, previous works in optical bands have suggested the presence of mass segregation. ...
متن کاملWIYN Open Cluster Study. XVII. Astrometry and Membership to V = 21 in NGC 188.
We present techniques for obtaining precision astrometry using old photographic plates from assorted large-aperture reflectors in combination with recent CCD Mosaic Imager frames. At the core of this approach is a transformation of plate/CCD coordinates into a previously constructed astrometric reference frame around the open cluster NGC 188. This allows us to calibrate independently the Optica...
متن کاملPhotometry of the Old Open Cluster Berkeley 17
Photometric UBVI CCD photometry is presented for NGC 188 and Berkeley 17. Color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) are constructed and reach well past the mainsequence turn-off for both clusters. Cluster ages are determined by means of isochrone fitting to the cluster CMDs. These fits are constrained to agree with spectroscopic metallicity and reddening estimates. Cluster ages are determined to be 7.0 ±...

We present the first comparisons of a newly developed Galactic Structure and Kinematic Model to magnitude and color counts, as well as relative proper motions, in the fields of the open clusters NGC 188 ((l, b) = (122.8 o , +22.4 o)) and NGC 3680 ((l, b) = (286.8 o , +16.9 o)). In addition to determining the reddening toward these two clusters, it is shown that starcounts at intermediate Galact...
