- Description:
- One of the most metal-rich open cluster of the Galaxy, NGC 6253 is a target of special interest in the search for extrasolar planets, the study of stellar populations, and the chemical/dynamical evolution of the Galactic disk. We present the results of two photometric campaigns and a VLT multi-epoch radial velocity survey toward the open cluster NGC 6253. We complement our analysis with photometric, proper motion, and radial velocity data available from previous studies of this cluster, and analyze three planetary candidates found in the field of NGC 6253.

- Description:
- A reexamination of the correspondence between 6cm radio continuum sources and young star clusters in the Antennae galaxies indicates that ~85% of the strong thermal sources have optical counterparts, once the optical image is shifted 1.2" to the southwest. A sample of 37 radio-optical matches are studied in detail, showing correlations between radio properties (i.e., total flux and spectral index) and a variety of optical characteristics (i.e., intrinsic cluster brightness, H{alpha} flux and equivalent width, extinction, and cluster ages). There is a strong correlation between the radio flux and the intrinsic optical brightness.

- Description:
- Galactic open clusters (OCs) mainly belong to the young stellar population in the Milky Way disk, but are there groups and complexes of OCs that possibly define an additional level in hierarchical star formation? Current compilations are too incomplete to address this question, especially regarding radial velocities (RVs) and metallicities ([M/H]). Here we present the parameters for the final working sample of 432 open clusters, as well as the mean parameters for the 19 detected potential open cluster groupings.

- Description:
- We present a catalogue of RcIcZ photometry over an area of 0.855 square degrees, centred on the young open cluster NGC 2547. The survey is substantially complete to limits of Rc=21.5, Ic=19.5, Z=19.5. We use the catalogue to define a sample of NGC 2547 candidates with model-dependent masses of about 0.05-1.0M_{sun}_.

- Rc light curves of 7 variables in M37
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A CCD photometric study of the dense galactic open cluster M 37 is discussed. The majority of the analysed data have been obtained through an R_C_ filter in order to collect time-series measurements. The observations were carried out on seven nights between December 1999 and February 2000, and have led to the discovery of 7 new variable stars in the field. Three of them have been unambiguously identified as W UMa-type eclipsing binaries, while two more are monoperiodic pulsating stars, most probably high-amplitude {delta} Scuti-type variables. Two stars seem to be long-period eclipsing binaries without firm period determination. The individual light curve data are presented here.

- Reddening in open and globular clusters
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/359/347
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This paper compares reddening values E(B-V) derived from the stellar content of 103 old open clusters and 147 globular clusters of the Milky Way with those derived from DIRBE/IRAS 100{mu}m dust emission in the same directions. Star clusters at |b|>20{deg} show comparable reddening values between the two methods, in agreement with the fact that most of them are located beyond the disk dust layer. For very low galactic latitude lines of sight, differences occur in the sense that DIRBE/IRAS reddening values can be substantially larger, suggesting effects due to the depth distribution of the dust. The differences appear to arise from dust in the background of the clusters consistent with a dust layer where important extinction occurs up to distances from the Plane of =~300pc. For 3% of the sample a significant background dust contribution might be explained by higher dust clouds. We find evidence that the Milky Way dust lane and higher dust clouds are similar to those of several edge-on spiral galaxies recently studied in detail by means of CCD imaging.

- Red giant candidates in 10 open clusters
- Short Name:
- J/AN/329/609
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- As part of a long-term project to determine abundances and astrophysical properties of evolved red stars in open clusters, we present high-precision DDO photoelectric observations for a sample of 33 red giant candidates projected in the fields of nine Galactic open clusters. These data are supplemented with UBV photoelectric photometry of 24 of these stars as well as with CORAVEL radial-velocity observations for 13 red giant candidates in four of the clusters. We also present Washington photoelectric photometry of a small sample of red giant candidates of the open cluster Ruprecht 97. The likelihood of cluster membership for each star photometrically observed and for 23 additional red giant candidates with UBV and DDO data available in the literature, is evaluated by using two independent photometric criteria. Nearly 82% of the analysed stars are found to have a high probability of being cluster giants. Photometric membership probabilities show very good agreement with those obtained from CORAVEL radial velocities. While E(B-V) colour excesses were determined from combined B-V and DDO colours, calibrations of the DDO system were used to derive MK spectral types, effective temperatures and metallicities.The derived DDO metallicities range between values typical of moderately metal-poor clusters ([Fe/H]=-0.19) to moderately metal-rich ([Fe/H]=0.25) ones.

- Red giants abundances in 4 open clusters
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/419/1350
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have analysed high-dispersion echelle spectra (R>~50000) of red giant members for four open clusters to derive abundances for many elements. The spread in temperatures and gravities being very small among the red giants nearly the same stellar lines were employed thereby reducing the random errors. The errors of average abundance for the cluster were generally in the range 0.02-0.07dex. Our present sample covers Galactocentric distances of 8.3-10.5kpc. The [Fe/H] values are -0.02+/-0.05 for NGC 752, -0.07+/-0.06 for NGC 2360, -0.11+/-0.05 for NGC 1817 and -0.19+/-0.06 for NGC 2506. Abundances relative to Fe for elements from Na to Eu are equal within measurement uncertainties to published abundances for thin-disc giants in the field. This supports the view that field stars come from disrupted open clusters.

- Red supergiants around Stephenson 2

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Several clusters of red supergiants have been discovered in a small region of the Milky Way close to the base of the Scutum-Crux Arm and the tip of the Long Bar. Population synthesis models indicate that they must be very massive to harbour so many supergiants. Amongst these clusters, Stephenson 2, with a core grouping of 26 red supergiants, is a strong candidate to be the most massive young cluster in the Galaxy. Stephenson 2 is located close to a region where a strong over-density of red supergiants had been found. We explore the actual cluster size and its possible connection to this over-density. Taking advantage of Virtual Observatory tools, we have performed a cross-match between the DENIS, USNO-B1 and 2MASS catalogues to identify candidate obscured luminous red stars around Stephenson 2, and in a control nearby region. More than 600 infrared bright stars fulfill our colour criteria, with the vast majority having a counterpart in the I band and >400 being sufficiently bright in I to allow observation with a 4-m class telescope. We observed a subsample of ~250 stars, using the multi-object, wide-field, fibre spectrograph AF2 on the WHT telescope in La Palma, obtaining intermediate-resolution spectroscopy in the 7500-9000{AA} range. We derived spectral types and luminosity classes for all these objects and measured their radial velocities.
