Abstract:Abstract. The fundamental physical parameters of open clusters are important tools to understand the formation and evolution of the Galactic disk and to test star-formation and evolution models. However, only a small fraction of the known open clusters in the Milky Way have precise determinations of distance, reddening, age, metallicity, radial velocity and proper motion. One of the major problems in determining these parameters lies in the difficulty to separate cluster members from field stars and to assign … Show more
