NGC 663 is a young, moderately rich open cluster, known to contain one of the largest fractions of Be stars among all galactic clusters. In this work we present CCD u v by β photometry for stars in its central area. We have used these data to obtain the main cluster physical parameters. We find that the reddening is highly variable, with values ranging from E ( b − y ) = 0.639 ± 0.032 in the central part to E ( b − y ) = 0.555 ± 0.038 in the south-east. The distance modulus is found to be 11.6 ± 0.1 mag (2.1 kpc) and the age log t = 7.4 ± 0.1 yr (25+7 −5 Myr) . The age obtained is consistent with the interpretation of the Be phenomenon as an evolutionary effect. 相似文献

We present CCD BVI photometry of the old open cluster Berkeley 21, one of the most distant clusters in the Galactic anticentre direction, and possibly the lowest metallicity object in the open clusters sample. Its position and metal abundance make it very important for the study of the Galactic disc. Using the synthetic colour–magnitude diagram method, we estimate values for the distance modulus ( m − M )0 = 13.4–13.6, reddening E ( B − V ) = 0.74–0.78 (with possible differential absorption), and age = 2.2–2.5 Gyr. 相似文献

We report on VI charge-coupled device photometry of two fields centred in the region of the open clusters NGC 6404 and 6583 down to V = 22.0 . So far these clusters have never been studied, and we provide for the first time estimates of their fundamental parameters, namely, radial extent, age, distance and reddening. We find that the radius of NGC 6404 is 2.0 arcmin, as previously proposed, while the radius of NGC 6583 is 1.0 arcmin, significantly lower than previous estimates. Both clusters turn out to be of intermediate age (0.5–1.0 Gyr old), and located inside the solar ring, at a Galactocentric distance of about 6.5 kpc. These results make these objects very interesting targets for spectroscopic follow-up to measure their metallicity. In fact, they might allow us to enlarge by more than 1 kpc the baseline of the radial abundance gradient in the Galactic disc towards the Galactic Centre direction. This baseline is currently rather narrow especially for clusters of this age. 相似文献

The first charge-coupled device UBV ( RI )C photometric study in the area of the doubtful open cluster NGC 2129 is presented. Photometry of a field offset 15 arcmin northwards is also provided, to probe the Galactic disc population towards the cluster. Using star counts, proper motions from the UCAC2 catalogue, colour–magnitude and colour–colour diagrams, we demonstrate that NGC 2129 is a young open cluster. The cluster radius is 2.5 arcmin, and across this region we find evidence of significant differential reddening, although the reddening law seems to be normal towards its direction. Updated estimates of the cluster fundamental parameters are provided. The mean reddening is found to be E ( B − V ) = 0.80 ± 0.08 and the distance modulus is ( m − M )0 = 11.70 ± 0.30 . Hence, NGC 2129 is located at 2.2 ± 0.2 kpc from the Sun inside the Local spiral arm. The age derived from 37 photometrically selected members is estimated to be approximately 10 Myr. These stars are used to provide new estimates of the cluster absolute proper-motion components. 相似文献

UBV(RI) C CCD photometry of a 2.1 × 3.3 arcmin2 field centred on the young open cluster Haffner 18 is presented and discussed. Spectroscopic classification of seven stars is also provided. 44 cluster members are identified, the earliest type being O6. The distance to the cluster is found to be 6.3 kpc, corresponding to a galactocentric distance of 12.7 kpc (for a Sun galactocentric distance of 8.5 kpc). An excellent fit to the observed main sequence is achieved by a solar composition isochrone of 2 × 106 yr reddened by E(B − V) = 0.62 mag. Differential reddening of intracluster origin is present. Pre-main-sequence members are likely to be present over the 6 mag range explored by our observations (reaching down to earliest A spectral types). The presence of differential reddening and pre-main-sequence members agrees with the evidence for a bright parent nebulosity embedding the whole cluster. The radial velocity of the cluster is consistent with the Hron model of Galactic rotation. 相似文献

We present a CCD BV photometry of the possible binary open star cluster NGC 7031/NGC 7086. The aim is to confirm or disprove their common nature on the grounds of their age and distance. An age of 224 ± 25 Myr and a distance of 831 ± 72 pc was determined for NGC 7031, and 178 ± 25 Myr, 955 ± 84 pc for NGC 7086, respectively. Based on these differences in age and distance we conclude that the two clusters are most likely not formed together from one and the same giant molecular cloud and thus do not form a true binary cluster.

The main astrophysical parameters of 24 previously unstudied open clusters of Berkeley catalogue are presented here. JHK near-infrared (Two Micron All Sky Survey) photometry and the proper motions astrometry of Naval Observatory Merged Astrometric Dataset (NOMAD) are used. The clusters' centres, angular diameters, ages, distances and colour excesses for these clusters are estimated for the first time. 相似文献
