- Description:
- We have obtained CCD UBVI_KC_ photometry down to V~21.0 for the open clusters Berkeley 26, Czernik 27, Melotte 72, NGC 2479 and BH 37. The latter has never been studied before. Cluster stellar density profiles were obtained from star counts in appropriate-sized boxes distributed throughout the entire observed fields. Based on different measured indices, we estimate the ages of Berkeley 26, Melotte 72 and NGC 2479. On the other hand, we indicate possible solutions for the cluster fundamental parameters by matching theoretical isochrones which reasonably reproduce the main cluster features in their colour-magnitude diagrams. In the case of NGC 2479, the cluster E(BV) and E(VI) colour excesses and apparent distance modulus were estimated from the fit of the zero-age main sequence to the colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams, respectively.

- Description:
- We present high-precision UBVRI CCD photometry of the old open cluster NGC 188. Our color-magnitude diagram extends from near the red giant branch tip to as faint as ~5mag below the main-sequence turnoff. From an analysis of these data along with published photometry for M67, we draw the following conclusions: (1) From the UBV two-color diagram, we find a reddening of E(B-V)=0.04+/-0.02 for M67 and E(B-V)=0.09+/-0.02 for NGC 188. (2) Based on main-sequence fitting to solar abundance isochrones, the distance moduli turn out to be (m-M)v=9.69+/-0.11 for M67 and (m-M)v=11.44+/-0.08 for NGC 188. (3) The comparison of the CMDs to theoretical isochrones indicates that an amount of core convective overshoot equivalent to 0.10 of a pressure scale height is appropriate for M67, while no overshoot is required to fit the CMD of NGC 188. These isochrones suggest that NGC 188 is 3.0+/-0.7 Gyr older than M67. (4) There is a clear indication of mass segregation in both M67 and NGC 188, with the most massive stars (M/M_{sun}_>1.1) being more centrally concentrated than those that are the least massive (0.8>=M/M_{sun}_>0.65).

- UBVRI CCD photometry of open clusters. II. NGC 6866
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/147/139
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have developed a maximum-likelihood procedure to fit theoretical isochrones to the observed cluster color-magnitude diagrams of NGC6866, an open cluster in the Kepler spacecraft field of view. The Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm permits exploration of the entire parameter space of a set of isochrones to find both the best solution and the statistical uncertainties. For clusters in the age range of NGC6866 with few, if any, red giant members, a purely photometric determination of the cluster properties is not well-constrained. Nevertheless, based on our UBVRI photometry alone, we have derived the distance, reddening, age, and metallicity of the cluster and established estimates for the binary nature and membership probability of individual stars. We derive the following values for the cluster properties: (m-M)_V_=10.98+/-0.24, E(B-V)=0.16+/-0.04 (so the distance=1250pc), age=705+/-170Myr, and Z=0.014+/-0.005.

- UBVRI CCD photometry of the open cluster NGC 6811
- Short Name:

- Description:
- NGC 6811 is one of the four open clusters located in the Kepler spacecraft field of view. We obtained UBVRI photometry of the cluster on six nights (four of them photometric) with the 1.08m Hall and 1.83m Perkins telescopes at Lowell Observatory. The mean photometric precision ranges from better than 0.01mag in the V, B-V, V-R, and V-I indices among stars brighter than magnitude 15 to about 0.05mag for U-B at magnitude 18. We followed a Bayesian statistical approach using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to determine the cluster reddening, distance, age, and iron content from a maximum-likelihood fit to stellar isochrones. Using the Yale-Yonsei isochrones, we derived E(B-V)=0.066+/-0.025, (m-M)_V_=10.13+/-0.19, age=1.06+/-0.19Gyr, and Z=0.012+/-0.004 ([Fe/H]=-0.18); with the Padova isochrones, we found E(B-V)=0.081+/-0.015, (m-M)_V_=10.31+/-0.11, age=0.94+/-0.08Gyr, and Z=0.012+/-0.002 ([Fe/H]=-0.20). The uncertainties include possible errors in the photometric zero points of +/-0.01mag, but do not include uncertainties in the models. Taking into account the differences between the two sets of models, we find the best estimate for the cluster parameters to be E(B-V)=0.074+/-0.024, (m-M)_V_=10.22+/-0.18, age=1.00+/-0.17Gyr, and Z=0.012+/-0.004 ([Fe/H]=-0.19).

- UBV(RI)c photometry in clusters Tr 1 and Be 11

- Description:
- We present deep UBV(RI)C charge-coupled device (CCD) photometry for the young open star clusters Tr 1 and Be 11. The CCD data for Be 11 are obtained for the first time. The sample consists of ~1500 stars reaching down to V~21mag. Analysis of the radial distribution of the stellar surface density indicates that radius values for Tr 1 and Be 11 are 2.3 and 1.5pc, respectively. The interstellar extinction across the face of the imaged clusters region seems to be non-uniform with a mean value of E(B-V)=0.60+/-0.05 and 0.95+/-0.05mag for Tr 1 and Be 11, respectively. A random positional variation of E(B-V) is present in both the clusters. In the cluster Be 11, the reason for the random positional variation may be the apparent association of the H II region (S 213). The 2MASS JHK data in combination with the optical data in the cluster Be 11 yield E(J-K)=0.40+/-0.20mag and E(V-K)=2.20+/-0.20mag. Colour excess diagrams indicate a normal interstellar extinction law in the direction of the cluster Be 11.

- Description:
- We analyse CCD broad band (UBV(RI)c) photometric data obtained in the fields of the poorly studied open clusters NGC 2425 and NGC 2635. Both clusters are found to be of intermediate age thus increasing the population of open clusters known to be of the age of, or older than, the Hyades. More explicitly, we find that NGC 2425 is a 2.2Gyr old cluster, probably of solar metallicity, located at 3.5kpc from the Sun. NGC 2635 is a Hyades age (600Myr) cluster located at a distance of 4.0kpc from the Sun. Its Colour Magnitude Diagram reveals that it is extremely metal poor for its age and position, thus making it a very interesting object in the context of Galactic Disk chemical evolution models.

- Description:
- Ages derived from the low mass stars still contracting onto the main sequence often differ from ages derived from the high mass ones that have already evolved away from it. We investigate the general claim of disagreement between these two independent age determinations by representing UBVRI photometry of the young galactic open clusters NGC 2232, NGC 2516, NGC 2547 and NGC 4755, spanning the age range ~10-150Myr.

- Description:
- We present CCD UBVI photometric and medium/high resolution spectroscopic observations obtained in the field of the previously unstudied dissolving open cluster candidates NGC 5385, NGC 2664 and Collinder 21. Our analysis is based on the discussion of star counts, photometry, radial velocity distribution, and proper motions available from the Tycho 2 catalogue (<I/259>). All three aggregates clearly emerge from the mean Galactic field, but, regrettably, the close scrutiny of proper motions and radial velocities reveals that we are not facing any physical group. Instead, what we are looking at are just chance alignments of a few bright unrelated stars. Our analysis casts some doubt on the Bica et al. (2001A&A...366..827B) criterion to look for Possible Open Cluster Remnants. It seems mandatory to define a better criterion to adopt for further investigations.
