Age Determinations of the Open Star Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We based on 2MASS J and Ks photometry for the open star clusters King 14 and NGC 146, and using color magnitude diagrams with isochrones fit we have found an age of log(age) = 7.8 (63 8 Myr) for King 14 and log(age) = 7.5 (32 8 Myr) for NGC 146. Our age determination is bigger than given in Lynga [5] ( log(age) = 7.2 for King 14 and log(age) = 7.1 for NGC 146 ) and less than Dias [6] ( log(age) = 7.9 for King 14 and log(age) = 7.8 for NGC 146 ).

Scaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملOpen clusters in dense fields : the importance of field - star decontamination for NGC 5715 , Lyng̊a 4 , Lyng̊a 9 , Trumpler 23 , Trumpler 26 and Czernik 37
Star clusters projected onto dense stellar fields in general require field star decontamination to confirm their nature and derive intrinsic photometric and structural fundamental parameters. The present work focusses on the open clusters or candidates NGC5715, Lyng̊a 4, Lyng̊a 9, Trumpler 23, Trumpler 26 and Czernik 37 which are projected within 317◦ . l . 2.2◦ and |b| . 2.8◦, against crowded bu...
متن کاملMass Determinations of Star Clusters
Mass determinations are difficult to obtain and still frequently characterised by deceptively large uncertainties. We review below the various mass estimators used for star clusters of all ages and luminosities. We highlight a few recent results related to (i) very massive old star clusters, (ii) the differences and similarities between star clusters and cores of dwarf elliptical galaxies, and ...
متن کاملPhotometric and kinematic studies of open star clusters III . NGC 4103 , NGC 5281 , and NGC 4755 ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
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 کاملOn the Interpretation of the Age Distribution of Star Clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We re-analyze the age distribution (dN/dt) of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using age determinations based on the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey. For ages younger than 3×10 yr the dN/dt distribution can be approximated by a power-law distribution, dN/dt ∝ t , with −β = −0.70±0.05 or −β = −0.84±0.04, depending on the model used to derive the ages. Predictions for a clust...
