Photometric and Kinematic Studies of Open Star Clusters I : NGC 581 ( M 103 )
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present CCD photometry and a proper motion study of the young open star cluster, NGC 581 (M 103). Fitting isochrones to the colour magnitude diagram, we found an age of 16 ± 4 Myr and a distance of roughly 3 kpc for this cluster. The proper motion study identifies 77 stars of V = 14.5 mag or brighter to be cluster members. We combine membership determination by proper motions and statistical field star subtraction to derive the IMF of the cluster and find a quite steep slope of Γ = −1.80.

We present CCD photometry and proper motion studies of the two open star clusters NGC 1960 (M 36) and NGC 2194. Fitting isochrones to the colour magnitude diagrams, for NGC 1960 we found an age of t = 16 Myr and a distance of roughly d = 1300 pc and for NGC 2194 t = 550 Myr and d = 2900 pc, respectively. We combined membership determination by proper motions and statistical field star subtracti...

We present CCD photometry and proper motion studies of the three open star clusters NGC4103, NGC5281, and NGC4755 (κ Cru). By fitting isochrones to the colour magnitude diagrams, we found that all three objects are young open star clusters with ages of at most t = 45 Myr. They are located at distances from approx. 1600 pc to 2200 pc, derived from distance moduli (m−M)0 ranging from 11 mag to 12...
متن کاملPhotometric Monitoring of Open Clusters I. The Survey
Open clusters, which have age, abundance, and extinction information from studies of main-sequence turn off stars, are the ideal location in which to determine the mass-luminosity-radius relation for low-mass stars. We have undertaken a photometric monitoring survey of open clusters in the Galaxy designed to detect low-mass eclipsing binary systems through variations in their relative light cur...
