Description
This table contains a list of 130 Galactic open clusters, found in the All-Sky Compiled Catalogue of 2.5 Million Stars (ASCC-2.5) and not included in the original Catalog of Open Cluster Data (COCD): it is known as the 1st Extension of the COCD (COCD-1). For these new clusters, the authors determined a homogeneous set of astrophysical parameters such as size, membership, motion, distance and age. In their previous work (the Browse table COCD based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/438/1163">CDS Cat. J/A+A/438/1163</a>), 520 already-known open clusters out of a sample of 1700 clusters from the literature were confirmed in the ASCC-2.5 using independent, objective methods. Using these same methods, the whole sky was systematically screened for new clusters. The newly detected clusters show the same distribution over the sky as the known ones. It is found that without the a priori knowledge about existing clusters the authors' search lead to clusters which are, on average, brighter, have more members and cover larger angular radii than the 520 previously-known ones. On the basis of data on about 6,200 possible members (including about 2,200 most probable ones) and homogeneous methods of cluster parameter determination, the angular sizes of cluster cores and coronae, cluster heliocentric distances, colour-excesses, mean proper motions, and ages of 130 clusters and mean radial velocities of 69 clusters were established and collected in the COCD-1. Clusters in the catalogue are numbered in order of increasing J2000.0 Right Ascension. The 1st Extension of the Open Cluster Diagrams Atlas (OCDA-1) presents a set of open cluster diagrams used for the determination of parameters of the 130 newly discovered open clusters, and is intended to illustrate the quality of the constructed cluster membership, and the accuracy of the derived cluster parameters. Every diagram presents relations between various stellar data from the all sky catalog ASCC-2.5(Kharchenko, 2001, CDS Cat. <I/280>) in the area of the specific cluster. There are five diagrams provided for every cluster in the Atlas: the area map, the density profile, the vector point diagram, the "magnitude equation" (proper motion in each coordinate versus V magnitude) diagram, and the color-magnitude diagram. The 130 OCDA-1 PostScript plots (one file per cluster) are available as a remote data product for all of the entries in this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/440/403/">CDS Catalog J/A+A/440/403/</a> files cluster.dat and notes.dat.
