A uvbyCaHβ CCD Analysis of the Open Cluster Standard, M67, and Its Relation to NGC 752

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Precision CCD uvbyCa H β photometry is presented of the old cluster, M67, covering one square degree with typical internal precision at the 0.005–0.020 mag level to V ∼ 17.

The embedded cluster or association Trumpler 37 in IC1396: a search for evolutionary constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is currently widely accepted that open star clusters and stellar associations result from the evolution of embedded star clusters. Parameters such star formation efficiency, time-scale of gas removal and velocity dispersion can be determinants of ...

Investigating 16 Open Clusters in the Kepler/K2–Gaia DR3 Field. I. Membership, Binary Systems, and Rotation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Using data from Gaia Data Release 3 and Kepler/K2, we present a catalog of 16 open clusters with ages ranging from 4–4000 Myr that provides detailed information on membership, binary systems, and rotation. We assess the memberships in 5D phase space, and

A Study of Stellar Spins in 15 Open Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We analyze spectroscopic and photometric data to determine the projected inclinations of stars in 11 open clusters, placing constraints on the spin-axis distributions of six clusters.

On the disc and halo of the milky way through a study of star clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2000
The subject is the metallicity and the correlation between the metallicity and spatial distribution of star clusters of the Milky Way. The open star clusters are confirmed as good indicators for the population of the galactic disc, whereas the globular ...

CP3 Stars in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1993
AbstractAbt published in 1979 frequencies of peculiar stars in open clusters based on published classifications for 661 stars in 14 open clusters and associations. Among others he discussed an age dependence of the frequencies of CP3 stars and found them increasing with age. Furthermore, he suggested a possible age dependence of the rotational velocity

Evolution and appearance of Be stars in SMC clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Star clusters are privileged laboratories for studying the evolution of massive stars (OB stars). One particularly interesting question concerns the phases, during which the classical Be stars occur, which unlike HAe/Be stars, are not pre-main sequence ...

Spin alignment of stars in old open clusters [PDF]

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2017
Stellar clusters form by gravitational collapse of turbulent molecular clouds, with up to several thousand stars per cluster. They are thought to be the birthplace of most stars and therefore play an important role in our understanding of star formation, a fundamental problem in astrophysics.

Catalogue of variable stars in open cluster fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present the first catalogue of known variable stars in open cluster regions and with up to two times the given cluster radius. This gives basic information about the distribution of variable stars in cluster fields for the complete sky. Knowledge of the variable star contents in open clusters is a significant advantage in their study.

On the possible generation of the young massive open clusters Stephenson2 and BDSB122 by Omega Centauri [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A massive objects such as a globular cluster passing through the disk of a galaxy can trigger star formation. We test the hypothesis that the most massive globular cluster in the Galaxy, $\omega$ Centauri, which crossed the disk approximately $24\pm2 ...
