Absolute proper motions of open clusters. I. Observational data
Mean proper motions and parallaxes of 205 open clusters were determinedfrom their member stars found in the Hipparcos Catalogue. 360 clusterswere searched for possible members, excluding nearby clusters withdistances D < 200 pc. Members were selected using ground basedinformation (photometry, radial velocity, proper motion, distance fromthe cluster centre) and information provided by Hipparcos (propermotion, parallax). Altogether 630 certain and 100 possible members werefound. A comparison of the Hipparcos parallaxes with photometricdistances of open clusters shows good agreement. The Hipparcos dataconfirm or reject the membership of several Cepheids in the studiedclusters. Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at theCDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html
| A photometric investigation of cluster membership for the Cepheid BB Sagittarii
Photoelectric UBV and VRI photometry is presented for the close pair ofopen clusters Cr 394 and NGC 6716 and for the 6.64 d classical CepheidBB Sgr. For Cr 394, E(B-V) = 0.25 + or - 0.01, V(0)-M(V) = 9.04 + or -0.08, d = 643 + or - 25 pc, age is about 60 million yr, nuclear radiusis 9 arcmin, and tidal radius is 27 arcmin. For NGC 6716, E(B-V) = 0.11+ or 0.01, V(0)-M(V) = 9.07 + or - 0.17, d = 650 + or - 52 pc, age isabout 60 million yr, nuclear radius 7 arcmin. The data combined withstar counts for the region of the cluster demonstrate that the Cepheidis a likely member of Cr 394.
