Distant galactic open clusters

  • 1. Kitt Peak National Observatory, Tucson, AZ (USA)

Description

The motivation for studying distant open clusters primarily arose out of a desire to gain some understanding of star formation processes in the general context of galactic structure. Of specific interest are faint open clusters near the galactic anticenter which are part of a larger survey of objects which may be located in the 'periphery' of the Galaxy. A sample of results from broad-band photometric studies for clusters near lsup(II)=1800, bsup(II)=00 is presented. (Auth.)
