چکیده
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We have initiated a long-term project, the BOAO photometric survey of open clusters, to enlarge our understanding of galactic structure using UBV I CCD photometry of open clusters which have been little studied before. This is the second paper of the project in which we present the photometry of 12 open clusters. We have determined the cluster parameters by fitting the Padova isochrones to the color-magnitude diagrams of the clusters. All the clusters except for Be 0 and NGC 1348 are found to be intermediate-age to old (0.2 – 4.0 Gyrs) open clusters with a mean metallicity of [Fe/H]≈ 0.0.

Boao Photometric Survey of Galactic Open Clusters. I.
Open clusters are useful tools to investigate the structure and evolution of the Galactic disk. We have started a long-term project to obtain UBV I CCD photometry of open clusters which were little studied before, using the Doyak 1.8 m telescope of Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea. The primary goals of this project are (1) to make a catalog of UBV I photometry of open clusters, ...

Context. We continue our survey for magnetic chemically peculiar (CP2) stars in galactic open clusters to shed more light on their origin and evolution. Aims. To study the group of CP2 stars, it is essential to find these objects in different galactic environments and at a wide range of evolutionary stages. The knowledge of open clusters ages and metallicities can help to find a correlation of ...
متن کاملNear-infrared Photometric Study of the Galactic Open Clusters Ngc 1641 and Ngc 2394 Based on 2mass Data
We present JHKS near-infrared CCD photometric study for the Galactic open clusters NGC 1641 and NGC 2394. These clusters have never been studied before, and we provide, for the first time, the cluster parameters; reddening, distance, metallicity and age. NGC 1641 is an old open cluster with age 1.6 ± 0.2 Gyr, metallicity [Fe/H]= 0.0 ± 0.2 dex, distance modulus (m−M) 0 = 10.4 ± 0.3 mag (d= 1.2± ...
متن کاملPhotometric survey of marginally investigated open clusters : I . Basel 11 b , King 14 , Czernik 43 ⋆
To progress in galactic studies based on open clusters, e.g. cluster formation rate or kinematical properties, one needs to improve the number of open clusters observed. However, only half of the 1700 known galactic open clusters have been properly observed so far, making any statistical investigation insignificant, especially at larger distances from the Sun. We study marginally investigated o...
متن کاملThe Bologna Open Cluster Chemical Evolution (BOCCE) Project: midterm results from the photometric sample
We describe a long term project aimed at deriving information on the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk from a large sample of open clusters. The main property of this project is that all clusters are analyzed in a homogeneous way, to guarantee the robustness of the ranking in age, distance and metallicity. Special emphasis is devoted to the evolution of the earliest phases of the Galactic...
