Description:
The field of direct imaging is experiencing a considerable growth in the number of available CCD mosaic imagers, especially on large telescopes. To fully exploit the astrometric potential of these imaging devices, we develop a technique, utilizing an astrometric standard, for precision transformation of pixel coordinates into a global coordinate system. We have constructed a new astrometric standard set of 1863 stars in the field of NGC 188 to derive the CCD chip constants for the NOAO CCD Mosaic Imager. The multiple-epoch data on the Mosaic's metrics indicate that this CCD mosaic device may have experienced a one-time nonelastic expansion. We also present a new determination of the pixel scale and the optical field angle distortion constants for the KPNO Mayall 4 m telescope prime focus field corrector. To establish a reliable history of the CCD mosaic imager metrics for current and potential future astrometric applications, we recommend obtaining astrometric calibrations for CCD mosaic imagers on a regular basis. Apart from mechanical positioning of the CCD mosaic camera on the telescope, noticeable changes in the thermal environment of CCD mosaic chips should also prompt new astrometric calibrations. It is shown that, following all precautions, the NOAO CCD Mosaic Imager can produce excellent astrometric results on the Mayall 4 m telescope.

Absolute proper motions of 93 open clusters
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We determined the mean absolute proper motion of 93 open clusters situated farther than 1 kpc from the Sun. The results are derived from the stellar proper motion data given in the Tycho2 Catalogue (<I/259>). The mean proper motion of the clusters and membership probability of individual stars were obtained from the proper motion data by applying the statistical method proposed by Sanders (1971A&A....14..226S). The measurements made use of a large number of stars, usually several tens, for each cluster. The total number of stars investigated in the fields of the clusters is 4864 of which 2021 were considered members. For 55 clusters, this is the first determination of the proper motion. The distances, ages and kinematics parameters of the clusters can be accessed at http://www.iagusp.usp.br/~wilton

Description:
We present mean absolute proper motions of 112 open clusters, determined using the data from the Tycho2 Catalogue (Cat. <I/259>). For 28 clusters, this is the first determination of proper motion.

The total number of stars studied in the fields of the 164 open clusters is 5016, of which 4006 were considered members. The mean proper motions of the clusters and membership probability of individual stars were obtained from the proper motion data by applying the statistical method proposed by Sanders (1971A&A....14..226S).

Abundance-age relations with open clusters

Description:
Precise chemical abundances coupled with reliable ages are key ingredients to understand the chemical history of our Galaxy. Open Clusters (OCs) are useful for this purpose because they provide ages with good precision. The aim of this work is to investigate the relations of different chemical abundance ratios vs age traced by red clump (RC) stars in OCs. We analyze a large sample of "NGoodstars" reliable members in "NClusters" OCs with available high-resolution spectroscopy. We applied a differential line-by-line analysis to provide a comprehensive chemical study of "NElements" chemical species. This sample is among the largest samples of OCs homogeneously characterized in terms of atmospheric parameters, detailed chemistry, and ages. In our metallicity range (-0.2<[M/H]<+0.2) we find that while most Fe-peak and {alpha} elements have flat dependence with age, the s-process elements show decreasing trends with increasing age with a remarkable knee at 1Gyr. For Ba, Ce, Y, Mo and Zr we find a plateau at young ages (<1Gyr). We investigate the relations of all possible combinations among the computed chemical species with age. We find 19 combinations with significant slopes, including [Y/Mg] and [Y/Al]. The ratio [Ba/{alpha}] is the one with the most significant correlations found. We find that the [Y/Mg] relation found in the literature using Solar twins is compatible with the one found here in the Solar neighbourhood. The age-abundance relations show larger scatter for clusters at large distances (d>1kpc) than for the Solar neighbourhood, particularly in the outer disk. We conclude that these relations need to be understood also in terms of the complexity of the chemical space introduced by the Galactic dynamics, on top of pure nucleosynthetic arguments, especially out of the local bubble.

Description:
We present radial velocities and chemical abundances for nine stars in the old, distant open clusters Be18, Be21, Be22, Be32, and PWM4. For Be18 and PWM4, these are the first chemical abundance measurements. Combining our data with literature results produces a compilation of some 68 chemical abundance measurements in 49 unique clusters. For this combined sample, we study the chemical abundances of open clusters as a function of distance, age, and metallicity. We confirm that the metallicity gradient in the outer disk is flatter than the gradient in the vicinity of the solar neighborhood. We also confirm that the open clusters in the outer disk are metal-poor with enhancements in the ratios [{alpha}/Fe] and perhaps [Eu/Fe]. All elements show negligible or small trends between [X/Fe] and distance (<0.02dex/kpc), but for some elements, there is a hint that the local (R_GC_<13kpc) and distant (R_GC_>13kpc) samples may have different trends with distance. There is no evidence for significant abundance trends versus age (<0.04dex/Gyr). We measure the linear relation between [X/Fe] and metallicity, [Fe/H], and find that the scatter about the mean trend is comparable to the measurement uncertainties. Comparison with solar neighborhood field giants shows that the open clusters share similar abundance ratios [X/Fe] at a given metallicity. While the flattening of the metallicity gradient and enhanced [{alpha}/Fe] ratios in the outer disk suggest a chemical enrichment history different from that of the solar neighborhood, we echo the sentiments expressed by Friel et al. that definitive conclusions await homogeneous analyses of larger samples of stars in larger numbers of clusters. Arguably, our understanding of the evolution of the outer disk from open clusters is currently limited by systematic abundance differences between various studies.

Description:
We present a large dataset consisting of giants in the field, and in open and globular clusters. A total of 122 giants were observed in the fields of 8 open clusters. A total of 342 giants were observed in the fields of 25 globular clusters. A total of 36 field stars with well known abundances and luminosities were also observed. Table 8 lists the spectral indices measured for the giants observed with the Argus and Red Channel spectrographs during 1991 and 1992. The central and continuum passbands for these indices are defined in Table 6.

Abundances for stars in 18 open clusters

Publisher:

Description:
The study of open-cluster chemical abundances provides insights on stellar nucleosynthesis processes and on Galactic chemo-dynamical evolution. In this paper we present an extended abundance analysis of 10 species (Fe, Ni, Cr, V, Sc, Si, Ca, Ti, Mg, O) for red giant stars in 18 OCCASO clusters. This represents a homogeneous sample regarding the instrument features, method, line list and solar abundances from confirmed member stars. We perform an extensive comparison with previous results in the literature, and in particular with the Gaia FGK Benchmark stars Arcturus and mu Leo. We investigate the dependence of [X/Fe] with metallicity, Galactocentric radius (6.5kpc<RGC<11kpc), age (0.3Gyr<Age<10Gyr), and height above the plane (|z|<1000pc). We discuss the observational results in the chemo-dynamical framework, and the radial migration impact when comparing with chemical evolution models. We also use APOGEE DR14 data to investigate the differences between the abundance trends in RGC and |z| obtained for clusters and for field stars.

Abundances in Galactic open clusters

Description:
A catalog compiling the parameters of 346 open clusters, including their metallicities, positions, ages, and velocities has been composed. The elements of the Galactic orbits for 272 of the clusters have been calculated. Spectroscopic determinations of the relative abundances, [el/Fe], for 14 elements synthesized in various nuclear processes averaged over data from 109 publications are presented for 90 clusters. The compiled data indicate that the relative abundances of primary {alpha} elements (oxygen and magnesium) exhibit different dependences on metallicity, age, Galactocentric distance, and the elements of the Galactic orbits in clusters with high, elongated orbits satisfying the criterion (Z_max_^2^+4e^2^)^1/2^>0.40 and in field stars of the Galactic thin disk (Zmax is the maximum distance of the orbit from the Galactic plane in kiloparsec and e is the eccentricity of the Galactic orbit). Since no systematic effects distorting the relative abundances of the studied elements in these clusters have been found, these difference suggest real differences between clusters with high, elongated orbits and field stars. In particular, this supports the earlier conclusion, based on an analysis of the elements of the Galactic orbits, that some clusters formed as a result of interactions between high-velocity,metal-poor clouds and the interstellar medium of the Galactic thin disk. On average, clusters with high, elongated orbits and metallicities [Fe/H]<-0.1 display lower relative abundances of the primary {alpha} elements than do field stars. The low [O, Mg/Fe] ratios of these clusters can be understood if the high-velocity clouds that gave rise to them were formed of interstellar material from regions where the star-formation rate and/or the masses of Type II supernovae were lower than near the Galactic plane. It is also shown that, on average, the relative abundances of the primary {alpha} elements are higher in relatively metal-rich clusters with high, elongated orbits than in field stars. This can be understood if clusters with [Fe/H]>-0.1 formed as a result of interactions between metal-rich clouds with intermediate velocities and the interstellar medium of the Galactic disk; such clouds could form from returning gas in a so-called "Galactic fountain".
