- Description:
- We present a UBVI and H{alpha} photometric study of the young open cluster NGC 1893 in the HII region W8 (IC 410 or Sh 2-236). A total of 65 early-type members are selected from photometric diagrams. A mean reddening of the stars is <E(B-V)>=0.563+/-0.083mag. The published photometric data in the near- and mid-infrared passbands are used to test the reddening law towards the cluster, and we confirm that the reddening law is normal (R_V_=3.1). Zero-age main-sequence fitting gives a distance modulus of V_0_-M_V_= 12.7+/-0.2mag, equivalent to 3.5+/-0.3kpc. From H{alpha} photometry, 125 H{alpha} emission stars and candidates are identified as pre-main-sequence (PMS). The lists of young stellar objects and X-ray sources published by previous studies allow us to select a large number of PMS members down to 1M_{sun}_. Isochrone fitting in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram gives a turn-off age of 1.5Myr and the median age of 1.9Myr from the PMS members with a spread of ~5Myr. We derive the initial mass function (IMF) for stars with mass larger than 1M_{sun}_. The slope of the IMF ({Gamma}=-1.3+/-0.1) is well consistent with the Salpeter/Kroupa IMF. A total mass of the cluster appears to be in excess of 1300M_{sun}_. Finally, we estimate the mass accretion rate of 82 PMS members in the mass range of 0.6-5M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- IC 1848 is one of the young open clusters in the giant star-forming Cas OB6 association. Several interesting aspects relating to star formation processes in giant star-forming regions attracted us to study the initial mass function (IMF), star formation mode and properties of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. A UBVI and H{alpha} photometric study of the young open cluster IC 1848 was conducted as part of the 'Sejong Open Cluster Survey'. We have selected 10^5^ early-type members from photometric diagrams. Their mean reddening is <E(B-V)>=0.660+/-0.054mag. Using the published photometric data with near- and mid-infrared archival data we confirmed the normal reddening law (R_V_=3.1) towards the cluster (IC 1848). A careful zero-age main-sequence fitting gives a distance modulus of V_0_-M_V_=11.7+/-0.2mag, equivalent to 2.2+/-0.2kpc. H{alpha} photometry and the list of young stellar objects identified by Koenig et al. permitted us to select a large number of PMS stars comprising 196 H{alpha} emission stars, 35 H{alpha} emission candidates, 5 Class I, 368 Class II and 24 transition disc candidates. From the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram using stellar evolution models, we estimate an age of 5Myr from several evolved stars and 3Myr from the PMS stars. The IMF was derived from stars with mass larger than 3M_{sun}_, and the slope is slightly steeper ({Gamma}=-1.6+/-0.2) than the Salpeter/Kroupa IMF. Finally, we estimated the mass accretion rate of PMS stars with an ultraviolet excess. The mean mass accretion rate is about 1.4x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr in the mass range of 0.5-2M_{sun}_, whereas intermediate-mass stars (>=2.5M_{sun}_) exhibit a much higher accretion rate of dM/dt>10^-6^M_{sun}/yr.

- Description:
- Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 images, we have obtained U, B, V, I, and H{alpha} photometry for 76 star clusters in the nuclear star-forming ring of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4314. These clusters are likely associated with an inner inner Lindblad resonance (IILR). The blue colors and H{alpha} emission for most of these clusters imply very young ages of 115 Myr. Age estimates based on several reddening-free parameters indicate that the present epoch of star formation has lasted at least 30Myr. By estimating the masses of stars in the clusters and comparing with the H{alpha} luminosity, we conclude that a significant fraction of ongoing star formation in the nuclear ring of NGC 4314 occurs in clusters. The cluster masses identify these as young open clusters, not young globular clusters.

- Description:
- New UBVRI and H{alpha} photometry has been obtained for the young open cluster NGC 6530 located 10' east of the Lagoon Nebula (M8). We found 37 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars with H{alpha} emission and nine PMS candidates using the R-H{alpha} color, a measure of H{alpha} emission. From this new photometry we derived the cluster parameters (V_0_-M_V_=11.25+/-0.1mag and E(B-V)=0.35mag), typical age (1.5Myr), and an age spread of about 5Myr. We confirmed the presence of a small amount of differential reddening across the cluster. We also verified the abnormal reddening law for the cluster, especially for a heavily embedded O7 V star, Herschel 36. Comparisons were made for several PMS evolution models with regard to the resulting age distribution and the initial mass function.

- Description:
- We present an optical and near-infrared study of a 45'x45' field in NGC 2264, which includes both S Mon and the Cone Nebula. We report photometry at optical (UBVR_C_I_C_) and near-infrared (JHK) wavelengths for ~600 stars and spectroscopic classifications for ~400 of these stars. We identify circumstellar disk candidates using three techniques: excess ultraviolet (U-V) emission, excess near-IR (I-K and H-K) emission, and H{alpha} emission-line equivalent widths for those stars with spectra. We find generally good correlation between disk indicators thought to originate from different physical processes. We find little if any evolution of disk fraction with stellar age or mass. However, when we derive mass accretion rates (dM/dt) from the excess emission at U, we find that dM/dt decreases with age over the age range spanned by our data, ~0.15 Myr, and increases with mass over the range ~0.25-1M_{sun}_. These findings are comparable to results found previously by us in the Orion Nebula cluster flanking fields.

- Description:
- The very young open cluster NGC 6383 centered on the O-star binary HD 159176 is an interesting place for studying the impact of early-type stars with strong radiation fields and powerful winds on the formation processes of low-mass stars. To investigate this process, it is necessary to determine the characteristics (age, presence, or absence of circumstellar material) of the population of low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in the cluster. We obtained deep U B V Rc Ic H{alpha} photometric data of the entire cluster as well as medium-resolution optical spectroscopy of a subsample of X-ray selected objects. Our spectroscopic data reveal only very weak H{alpha} emission lines in a few X-ray selected PMS candidates. We photometrically identify a number of H-{alpha} emission candidates but their cluster membership is uncertain. We find that the fainter objects in the field of view have a wide range of extinction (up to A_V_=20), one X-ray selected OB star having A_V_~8. Our investigation uncovers a population of PMS stars in NGC 6383 that are probably coeval with HD 159176. In addition, we detect a population of reddened objects that are probably located at different depths within the natal molecular cloud of the cluster. Finally, we identify a rather complex spatial distribution of H{alpha} emitters, which is probably indicative of a severe contamination by foreground and background stars.

- Description:
- Deep and extensive CCD photometric observations at UBV(RI)cH{alpha} were carried out in the area of the open cluster NGC 3293. The new data set allows to see the entire cluster sequence down to Mv~+4.5, revealing that stars with Mv<-2 are evolving off the main sequence; stars with -2<Mv<+2 are located on the main sequence and stars with Mv>+2 are placed above it. According to our analysis, the cluster distance is d=2750+/-250pc (V0-Mv=12.2+/-0.2) and its nuclear age is 8+/-1Myr. NGC 3293 contains an important fraction of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars distributed along a parallel band to the ZAMS with masses from 1 to 2.5M_{sun}_ and a mean contraction age of 10Myr. This last value does not differ too much from the nuclear age estimate. If we take into account the many factors that may affect the PMS star positions on the colour-magnitude diagram, both ages can be perfectly reconciled. The star formation rate, on the other hand, suggests that NGC 3293 stars formed surely in one single event, therefore favouring a coeval process of star formation. Using the Halpha data, we detected nineteen stars with signs of Halpha emission in the region of NGC 3293, another indication that the star formation process is still active in the region. The computed initial mass function for the cluster has a slope of x=1.2+/-0.2, a bit flatter than the typical slope for field stars and similar to the values found for other young open clusters.

- Description:
- This paper presents new deep and wide narrow-band surveys undertaken with United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), Subaru and the Very Large Telescope (VLT), a unique combined effort to select large, robust samples of H{alpha} star-forming galaxies at z = 0.40, 0.84, 1.47 and 2.23 (corresponding to look-back times of 4.2, 7.0, 9.2 and 10.6Gyr) in a uniform manner over ~2deg^2^ in the Cosmological Evolution Survey and Ultra Deep Survey fields. The deep multi-epoch H{alpha} surveys reach a matched 3{sigma} flux limit of ~3M_{sun}_/yr out to z=2.2 for the first time, while the wide area and the coverage over two independent fields allow us to greatly overcome cosmic variance and assemble by far the largest samples of H{alpha} emitters. Catalogues are presented for a total of 1742, 637, 515 and 807 H{alpha} emitters, robustly selected at z = 0.40, 0.84, 1.47 and 2.23, respectively, and used to determine the H{alpha} luminosity function and its evolution.

- Description:
- We have identified 85 regions of enhanced H{alpha} emission at |b|>10{deg} subtending approximately 1{deg} or less on the Wisconsin H{alpha} Mapper (WHAM) sky survey (Cat. II/249). These high-latitude "WHAM point sources" have H{alpha} fluxes of 10^-11^-10^-9^ergs/cm^2^/s, radial velocities within about 70km/s of the LSR, and line widths that range from less than 20 to about 80km/s (FWHM). Twenty-nine of these enhancements are not identified with either cataloged nebulae or hot stars and appear to have kinematic properties that differ from those observed for planetary nebulae. Another 14 enhancements are near hot evolved low-mass stars that had no previously reported detections of associated nebulosity. The remainder of the enhancements are cataloged planetary nebulae and small, high-latitude HII regions surrounding massive O and early B stars.
