What are open clusters and what do they teach us
Groups of Population I stars having formed together; Excellent empirical reference sequences: basis of various scales and calibrations (distances, reddening, age, abundance); Traditional laboratories well suited for studies of stellar evolution (tracks, isochrones); Star formation: population of young clusters, luminosity functions, IMF; Relation to large scale structure and evolution of galaxies (spiral structure, rotation curve)


Previous studies of the open cluster population


Numerous dedicated studies restricted to a specific problem and/or sample (generally non-uniform and with unknown completeness):


cluster age scale (Loktin et al., 2004) cluster sizes (Danilov & Seleznev, 1993) many others...

- 500 objects - 100 objects

statistics of CCD-observed clusters (Tadross at al., 2002) - 160 objects



A few comprehensive studies based on the Lund catalogue of Open Cluster Data


Lynga (1982)

over 400 objects with data from the literature

Janes et al. (1988) over 400 objects with data from the literature (weighted).


Open clusters and present-day all-sky catalogs
Hipparcos/Tycho: 2.5 mln stars up to 12 ­ 14 mag, BT VT ; ASCC-2.5: 2.5 mln stars up to 12 ­ 14 mag, B V, PM compiled; 2MASS: 470 mln stars up to 17 mag, J H KS;

Open clusters in the Post Hipparcos era:
Dias et al. (on-line): compilation of <1700 open cluster data; Platais et al. 1998: 15 new clusters/stellar groups, Hipparcos; Alessi et al. 2003, 2004: 11,~50 new clusters, Tycho-2; Bica et al. 2003: ~350 new IR clusters/stellar groups, 2MASS; Current project 2004-2005: parametrs of 520 known and 130 new clusters, ASCC-2.5.


Aims of the current project:
To benefit from Hipparcos and other All-Sky surveys in a systematic study of the stellar population in open clusters; To identify in ASCC-2.5 all known open clusters and associations and find new clusters; To derive a uniform set of parameters of these clusters (membership,
coordinates, radii, proper motions, radial velocities, ages, reddenings, distances);

To determine the parameters of the galactic disk population of open clusters; To study selected star groups.

n* = 3.6в106 n*/N* = 6-10%

Optical open clusters still do not provide all Galactic disk stars!
