Description
Open clusters are key to studying the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc. However, there is a deficiency of radial velocity and chemical abundance determinations for open clusters in the literature. Aims. We intend to increase the number of determinations of radial velocities and metallicities from spectroscopy for open clusters. We acquired medium-resolution spectra (R~8000) in the infrared region CaII triplet lines (~8500{AA}) for several stars in five open clusters with the long-slit IDS spectrograph on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, Spain). Radial velocities were obtained by cross-correlation fitting techniques. The relationships available in the literature between the strength of infrared Ca ii lines and metallicity were also used to derive the metallicity for each cluster.
