- Description:
- We present a CCD photometric survey of the central one-half degree of the old open cluster, M67, in U, B, V, and I colors to magnitude V=20. Extensive comparison of our photometry with other published datasets shows excellent agreement, indicating that CCD photometry is capable of producing a uniform set of measurements consistent with the photometric system defined primarily by the Landolt standard sequence. The color-magnitude diagram of the cluster shows a well-defined main sequence extending at least to the limit of the photometry at M(V)=10.55 and a substantial binary sequence. At least 38 percent of cluster stars are binaries. The observations were performed on 3 nights on 15-18 February 1990 with the 1.09m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory with a Tektronix 512^2^ CCD camera; a standard KPNO UBVRI filter set was used, with BVR filters being the Harris et, and I the "nearly Mould" filter.

- Description:
- We present Washington system colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for 17 practically unstudied star clusters located in the bar as well as in the inner disc and outer regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Cluster sizes were estimated from star counts distributed throughout the entire observed fields. Based on the best fits of theoretical isochrones to the cleaned (C-T_1_, T_1_) CMDs, as well as on the {delta}T_1_ parameter and the standard giant branch method, we derive ages and metallicities for the cluster sample. Four objects are found to be intermediate-age clusters (1.8-2.5 Gyr), with [Fe/H] ranging from -0.66 to -0.84. With the exception of SL 263, a very young cluster (~16 Myr), the remaining 12 objects are aged between 0.32 and 0.89 Gyr, with their [Fe/H] values ranging from -0.19 to -0.50. We combined our results with those for other 231 clusters studied in a similar way using the Washington system. The resulting age-metallicity relationship shows a significant dispersion in metallicities, whatever age is considered. Although there seems to exist a clear tendency for the younger clusters to be more metal rich than the intermediate ones, we believe that none of the chemical evolution models currently available in the literature reasonably well represents the recent chemical enrichment processes in the LMC clusters. The present sample of 17 clusters is part of our ongoing project of generating a data base of LMC clusters homogeneously studied using the Washington photometric system and applying the same analysis procedure.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present new CCD photometry in the b and y colours of the Stroemgren uvby system for 310 stars in a 13'x13' field centered on the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 3680. Careful cross-checks indicate that previously published BV photometry of NGC 3680 is affected by random and/or systematic errors precluding its use in critical comparison with theoretical isochrone computations. Detailed notes on several individual stars are given. In addition, we present =~400 new photoelectric radial-velocity observations of 109 stars obtained with the CORAVEL scanner during the period 1988-1994. These data allow substantially complete identification of member and non-member stars in the field, and of spectroscopic binaries in both groups. Rotational velocities have also been derived for the programme stars, and our velocity variability criteria for stars of all rotations are described. The further astrophysical discussion of the data, including the definition of radial-velocity membership criteria, theoretical isochrone fitting, and the dynamical state of the cluster and the origin of its "bimodal turnoff", will appear in a separate paper (Nordstroem et al. 1996).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- CCD UBVIc imaging photometry was carried out in the fields of the open clusters Pismis 8 and Pismis 13, located in the Vela-Puppis region in our Galaxy. MK spectral types have also been determined for a number of stars located in the fields of these two clusters which were used to secure membership among the brightest stars. Since our photometry goes to a fainter limit than previous studies we could provide better reddening, distance and age determinations. Both clusters are located close to the edge of the local arm in the third quadrant. Pismis 8 is a cluster about 5-7My old located at 2000pc from the Sun, while Pismis 13 was found at 2750pc with a probable age of about 100My. The estimate of the slopes of the mass functions in both cases yielded x=1.7 and x=2.1 for Pismis 8 and 13 respectively.

- Description:
- The h and chi Per "double cluster" is examined using wide-field (0.98x0.98{deg}) CCD UBV imaging supplemented by optical spectra of several hundred of the brightest stars. The UBV photometry was obtained from observations with the 0.9m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory using the Mosaic CCD camera (0.43arcsec/pix) on 1999 February 3. Conditions were photometric with a seeing about 1.3arcsec. The Mosaic camera consists of eight individual SITe 2048x4096 CCD chips arranged in two rows of four to produce a final image equivalent to 8192x8192 pixels (098x098{deg}) but with modest (35-50pix) gaps. Our imaging data set contains short (0.5s in V and B and 2s in U), medium (2s in V and B and 10s in U), and long (100s in V and B and 300s in U) integrations, each consisting of five dithered exposures that were combined to fill in gaps between the eight chips. Analyzing the data near the cluster nuclei results in identical reddenings E(B-V) (0.56+/-0.01), distance moduli (11.85+/-0.05), and ages (12.8+/-1.0Myr) for the two clusters. In addition, the initial mass function slope for each of the cluster nuclei is found to be quite normal for high-mass stars ({Gamma}=-1.3+/-0.2), indistinguishable from a Salpeter value. The masses of the two clusters are found to be 3700M_{sun}_ and 2800M_{sun}_ for h and {chi} when integrating the present-day mass function from 1 to 120M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- We present UBVRI and H{alpha} photometry of the extremely compact, starburst cluster NGC 3603. Ground-based images, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archival data, as well as Chandra X-ray data have been used for this study. We present, for the first time, optical color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for the stars in the cluster core down to V=22mag. A well-defined main sequence (MS) as well as low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars can clearly be seen in the CMDs. This result confirms the finding by Eisenhauer et al. (1998ApJ...498..278E) that low-mass stars are forming in the starburst cluster. We also derive an age (1+/-1Myr) and distance of the cluster (V_0_-M_V_=14.2+/-0.2mag, i.e., d=6.9+/-0.6kpc).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- CCD observations in the U, B, V, R and I passbands have been used to generate colour-colour and deep colour-magnitude diagrams for the young open star clusters NGC 3228, NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087. The sample consists of about 2000 stars reaching down to V=20mag. The interstellar extinction across the face of the imaged cluster regions seems to be uniform with average values of E(B-V)=0.31, 0.34 and 0.22mag for NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087 respectively. The distances to the clusters NGC 3228, NGC 4103, NGC 5662 and NGC 6087 have been estimated as 0.5+/-0.05, 2.0+/-0.3, 0.8+/-0.1 and 1.0+/-0.1kpc respectively, while the corresponding ages estimated from the theoretical stellar evolutionary isochrones fitted to the bright proper motion cluster members are ~100, 30, 80 and 65Myr respectively. Present data are consistent with the membership of the Cepheid variable V Cen to NGC 5662 and of S Norm to NGC 6087. Heavy contamination by foreground and background field stars has unfortunately made it impossible to reach definite conclusions about the faint luminosity function, and the data do not reach faint enough limits to investigate pre-main sequence stars.
