- Description:
- We report a study of the global properties of some embedded clusters placed in the fourth quadrant of the MilkyWay to clarify some issues related with their location into de Galaxy and their stellar formation processes. We performed BVI photometric observations in the region of DBS 77, 78, 102, 160, and 161 clusters and infrared spectroscopy in DBS 77 region. They were complemented with JHK data from VVV survey combined with 2MASS catalogue, and used mid-infrared information from GLIMPSE catalogue. We also searched for HI data from SGPS and PMN radio surveys, and previous spectroscopic stellar classification. The spectroscopic and photometric information allowed us to estimate the spectral classification of the brightest stars of each studied region. On the other hand, we used the radio data to investigate the interstellar material parameters and the continuum sources probably associated with the respective stellar components. We estimated the basic physical parameters of the clusters (reddening, distance, age, and initial mass function). We searched for HII regions located near to the studied clusters and we analyzed the possible link between them. In the particular case of DBS 160-161 clusters, we identified the HI bubble B332.5-0.1-42 located around them. We found that the mechanical energy injected to the interstellar medium by the more massive stars of this couple of clusters was enough to generate the bubble.

- Description:
- A comprehensive census of Galactic open cluster properties places unique constraints on the Galactic disc structure and evolution. In this framework, we investigate the evolutionary status of three poorly studied open clusters, Berkeley 31, Berkeley 23 and King 8, all located in the Galactic anticentre direction. To this aim, we make use of deep Large Binocular Telescope observations, reaching more than 6mag below the main-sequence turn-off. To determine the cluster parameters, namely age, metallicity, distance, reddening and binary fraction, we compare the observational colour--magnitude diagrams (CMDs) with a library of synthetic CMDs generated with different evolutionary sets (Padova, FRANEC and FST) and metallicities. We find that Berkeley 31 is relatively old, with an age between 2.3 and 2.9Gyr, and rather high above the Galactic plane, at about 700pc. Berkeley 23 and King 8 are younger, with best-fitting ages in the range 1.1-1.3 and 0.8-1.3 Gyr, respectively. The position above the Galactic plane is about 500-600 pc for the former and 200 pc for the latter. Although a spectroscopic confirmation is needed, our analysis suggests a subsolar metallicity for all three clusters. Based on observations collected at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and in part at the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG).

- Description:
- To study the crucial range of Galactocentric distances between 12 and 16kpc, where little information is available, we have obtained VI CCD imaging of Berkeley 20 and BVI CCD imaging of Berkeley 66 and Tombaugh 2, three distant, old open clusters. Using the synthetic colour magnitude diagram (CMD) technique with three types of evolutionary tracks of different metallicities, we have determined age, distance, reddening and indicative metallicity of these systems. The CMD of Be 20 is best reproduced by stellar models with a metallicity about half of solar (Z=0.008 or 0.01), in perfect agreement with high resolution spectroscopic estimates. Its age is between 5 and 6Gyr from stellar models with overshooting and between 4.3 and 4.5Gyr from models without it. The distance modulus from the best fitting models is always (m-M)=14.7 (corresponding to a Galactocentric radius of about 16kpc), and the reddening E(B-V) ranges between 0.13 and 0.16. A slightly lower metallicity (Z=~0.006) appears to be more appropriate for Be 66. This cluster is younger (3Gyr), and closer, (m-M)=13.3 (i.e., at 12kpc from the Galactic centre), than Be 20, and suffers from high extinction, 1.2<=E(B-V)<=1.3, variable at the 2-3% level. Finally, the results for To 2 indicate that it is an intermediate age cluster, about 1.4Gyr or 1.6-1.8Gyr for models without and with overshooting, respectively. The metallicity is about half of solar (Z=0.006 to 0.01), in agreement with spectroscopic determinations. The distance modulus is (m-M)=14.5, implying a distance of about 14kpc from the Galactic centre; the reddening E(B-V) is 0.31-0.4, depending on the model and metallicity, with a preferred value around 0.34.

- Description:
- The IRAS 16362-4845 star-forming site in the RCW 108 complex contains an embedded compact cluster that includes some massive O-type stars. Star formation in the complex, and in particular in IRAS 16362-4845, has been proposed to be externally triggered by the action of NGC 6193. We present a photometric study of the IRAS 16362-4845 cluster sensitive enough to probe the massive brown dwarf regime. In particular, we try to verify an apparent scarcity of solar-type and low-mass stars reported in a previous paper (Comeron et al., 2005A&A...433..955C).

- Description:
- We present the results of a study of the stellar population of the young open cluster Pismis 24 (RA~17:24:44, DE~-34:12). Observations were carried out through JHKs filters with SofI at NTT (ESO). Photometry in the IRAC (onboard satellite Spitzer) bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0-micron) was performed on deep archive images. Optical photometry in the Cousins VI bands was performed on WFC2 (onboard the HST) archive images. High-resolution X-ray photometry with ACIS (onboard satellite Chandra) was taken from Wang et al. (2007). Source coordinates were obtained by matching SofI Ks sources to 2MASS K sources. Table 1 lists the sources retrieved in the SofI field (without VI photometry). Table 2 contains the subsample of sources from Table 1 falling in the smaller WFC2 field (including VI photometry).

- Description:
- It has been suggested that the compact open cluster VdBH 222 is a young massive distant object. We set out to characterise VdBH 222 using a comprehensive set of multi-wavelength observations. We obtained multi-band optical (UBVR) and near-infrared (JHKs) photometry of the cluster field, as well as multi-object and long-slit optical spectroscopy for a large sample of stars in the field. We applied classical photometric analysis, as well as more sophisticated methods using the CHORIZOS code, to determine the reddening to the cluster. We then plotted dereddened HR diagrams and determined cluster parameters via isochrone fitting.

- Description:
- The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for an unprecedented 562 sq. deg of the Galactic bulge and adjacent regions of the disk. Nearly 150 new open clusters and cluster candidates have been discovered in this survey. We present the fourth article in a series of papers focussed on young and massive clusters discovered in the VVV survey. This article is dedicated to the cluster VVV CL041, which contains a new very massive star candidate, WR 62-2. Following the methodology presented in the first paper of the series, wide-field, deep JHKs VVV observations, combined with new infrared spectroscopy, are employed to constrain fundamental parameters (distance, reddening, mass, age) of VVV CL041.

- Description:
- Our aims are twofold: To determine the physical parameters of PMS members in young open clusters (YOCs), and to check and compare the performances of different model isochrones. We compare UBVRI photometric observations of eleven YOCs to theoretical isochrones in the photometric diagrams. The comparison simultaneously provides membership assignments for MS and PMS stars and estimates for the masses, ages, and spatial distribution of the candidate members. The relations found between the different cluster parameters show that the procedure applied to assign cluster membership, and to measure physical parameters for the selected members, is well founded.

- Description:
- Pismis 18 is a moderately populated, intermediate-age open cluster located within the solar circle at a Galactocentric distance of about seven kpc. Few open clusters have been studied in detail in the inner disc region before the Gaia-ESO Survey. New data from the Gaia-ESO Survey allowed us to conduct an extended radial velocity membership study as well as spectroscopic metallicity and detailed chemical abundance measurements for this cluster. Gaia-ESO Survey data for 142 potential members, lying on the upper main sequence and on the red clump, yielded radial velocity measurements, which, together with proper motion measurements from the Gaia Second Data Release (Gaia DR2), were used to determine the systemic velocity of the cluster and membership of individual stars. Photometry from Gaia DR2 was used to re-determine cluster parameters based on high confidence member stars only. Cluster abundance measurements of six radial-velocity member stars with UVES high-resolution spectroscopy are presented for 23 elements. The average radial velocity of 26 high confidence members is -27.5+/-2.5(std)km/s with an average proper motion of pmra=-5.65+/-0.08(std)mas/yr and pmdec=-2.29+/-0.11(std)mas/yr. According to the new estimates, based on high confidence members, Pismis 18 has an age of {tau}=700^+40^_-50_Myr, interstellar reddening of E(B-V)=0.562^+0.012^_-0.026_mag and a de-reddened distance modulus of DM_0_=11.96^+0.10^_-0.24_mag. The median metallicity of the cluster (using the six UVES stars) is [Fe/H]=+0.23+/-0.05dex, with [{alpha}/Fe]=0.07+/-0.13 and a slight enhancement of s- and r- neutron-capture elements. With the present work, we fully characterized the open cluster Pismis 18.We confirmed its present location in the inner disc. We estimated a younger age than the previous literature values and we gave, for the first time, its metallicity and its detailed abundances. Its [{alpha}/Fe] and [s-process/Fe], both slightly super-solar, are in agreement with other inner-disc open clusters observed by the Gaia-ESO survey.
