We use a 440.5 ks Chandra observation of the $\approx$500-Myr-old open cluster M37 to derive the X-ray luminosity functions of its $\leq1.2$ $M_{\odot}$ stars. Combining detections of 162 M37 members with upper limits for 160…

We derive fundamental parameters for the old, rich open cluster NGC 1245 using BVI photometry from the MDM 1.3m and 2.4m telescopes. Based on detailed isochrone fitting, we find NGC 1245 has a slightly sub-solar metallicity, [Fe/H]=-0.05 +-…

We have conducted VI CCD photometry of the two open clusters NGC 1245 and NGC 2506 using the CFH12K CCD camera. Our photometry covers a sky area of 84'X82' and 42'X81' for the two clusters, respectively, and reaches down to V = 23. We…

The B,V CCD photometry of 916 stars in the field of the high galactic latitude intermediate age open cluster NGC 1245 is presented. The cluster parameters were estimated with the help of V vs (B-V) colour-magnitude diagram (CMD). After…

Three new photometric CCD-based datasets are presented for NGC~6791. They consist of deep UBV photometry (to $V_{lim} =24$, $B_{lim}=24$, $U_{lim} = 23$) of the central parts of the cluster and of selected fields around it, and of…

Images and spectra of the open cluster NGC 3105 have been obtained with GMOS on Gemini South. The (i', g'-i') color-magnitude diagram (CMD) constructed from these data extends from the brightest cluster members to g'~23. This is 4 - 5 mag…

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…

We present the $UBVRI$ CCD photometry in the region of the open cluster NGC 2421. Radius of the cluster is determined as $\sim$ 3$^\prime$.0 using stellar density profile. Our Study indicates that metallicity of the cluster is $Z \sim$…

CCD photometry on the intermediate-band uvbyCaH-beta system is presented for the old open cluster, NGC 6253. Despite a high level of field star contamination due to its location toward the galactic center, combination of the data from the…

We report on CCD optical (B and V passbands) and near IR (J and K bands) observations in the region of the old open cluster NGC 2141. By combining the two sets of photometry (500 stars in common) we derive new estimates of the cluster…
