This paper investigates a poorly studied open cluster, NGC 5288, using 2MASS JHKS and the recently released Gaia DR3 astrometric and photometric data. The mean proper motions in Right Ascension and Declination are estimated as (-3.840 +/-…
We present UBVRI photometry of stars in the field of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 559. By determining the stellar membership probabilities derived through a photometric and kinematic study of the cluster, we identify the 22 most…
e present wide field deep UBVI photometry for the previously unstudied open cluster NGC 4852 down to a limiting magnitude $I\sim24$, obtained from observations taken with the Wide Field Imager camera on-board the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope at…
We review the complications involved in the conversion of stellar luminosities into masses and apply a range of mass-to-luminosity relations to our Hubble Space Telescope observations of the young LMC star clusters NGC 1805 and NGC 1818.…
We present a statistical method to derive the mass functions of open clusters using sky survey data such as the 2 Micron All Sky Survey and the Guide Star Catalogue. We have used this method to derive the mass functions in the…
We have investigated the properties of the stellar mass function in the globular cluster NGC6397 using a large set of HST observations that include WFPC2 images in V and I, obtained at ~4' and 10' radial distances, and a series of deep…
Aims: We present the first in-depth study of the kinematic properties and derive the structural parameters of NGC 4372 based on the fit of a Plummer profile and a rotating, physical model. We explore the link between internal rotation to…
I-band CCD images of a large area of the nearby globular cluster NGC~6397 have been used to construct a surface density profile and two luminosity and mass functions. The surface density profile extends out to 14\arcm from the cluster…
We have carried out WFPC2 V- and I-band imaging of the young LMC cluster NGC 2157. Construction of a color-magnitude diagram and isochrone fitting yields an age of tau = 100 000 000 yrs, a reddening E(B-V) = 0.1 and a distance modulus of…
The BVRcIc CCD photometry in the fields of six open clusters toward the Perseus spiral arm is presented. These data along with JHKs magnitudes taken from 2MASS catalog, have been used to determine cluster's ages, distances and color…
We continue our series of papers describing the results of a photometric survey of open star clusters, primarily in the southern hemisphere, taken in the u'g'r'i'z' filter system. The entire observed sample covered more than 100 clusters,…
We present V and I photometry of two open clusters in the LMC down to V ~ 26. The clusters were imaged with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera - 2 on board of the Hubble Space Telescope, as part of the Medium Deep Survey Key-Project. Both…
Using new data from the UVES spectrograph on the ESO Very Large Telescope and archive images from the Hubble Space Telescope, we have measured projected velocity dispersions and structural parameters for two bright young star clusters in…
The young cluster NGC 6231 (stellar ages ~2-7 Myr) is observed shortly after star-formation activity has ceased. Using the catalog of 2148 probable cluster members obtained from Chandra, VVV, and optical surveys (Paper I), we examine the…
We conducted a photometric and kinematic analysis of the young open cluster NGC 2345 using CCD \emph{UBV} data from 2-m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT), \emph{Gaia} Data Release 3 (DR3), 2MASS, and the APASS datasets. We found 1732 most…
We use a combination of data acquired with the Advanced Camera for Survey (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope and the Large Binocular Camera (LBC-blue) mounted on the Large Binocular Telescope, to sample the main sequence stars of the…
We have studied the stellar main sequence (MS) of the globular cluster NGC2298 using deep HST/ACS observations in the F606W and F814W bands covering an area of 3.4' x 3.4' around the cluster centre or about twice the cluster's half-mass…
The very young open cluster (OC) NGC 2244 in the Rosette Nebula was studied with field-star-decontaminated 2MASS photometry, which shows the main-sequence (MS) stars and an abundant pre-MS (PMS) population. Fundamental and structural…
We derive astrophysical and structural parameters of the poorly studied open clusters NGC 6866, NGC 7062, and NGC 2360 based on filtered 2MASS (J, J -H) diagrams, and stellar radial density profiles. The field star decontamination technique…
We present results from a WIYN/OPTIC photometric and astrometric survey of the field of the open cluster NGC 188 ((l,b) = (122.8\arcdeg, 22.5\arcdeg)). We combine these results with the proper-motion and photometry catalog of Platais et al.…
