The potential broader complex linked to the key Cepheid SV Vul

Daniel Majaess, Ignacio Negueruela, Leonid N. Berdnikov +10

A new distance was established to the Cepheid SV Vul () and its host cluster Alicante 13, and is tied in part to deeper UKIDSS-DR6 photometry and Gaia DR3 observatio…

The Gaia parallax discrepancy for the cluster Pismis 19, and separating Scutis from Cepheids

Daniel Majaess, Charles J. Bonatto, David G. Turner +10

Pre-Gaia distances for the open cluster Pismis 19 disagree with Gaia parallaxes. A 2MASS red clump distance was therefore established for Pismis 19 ( kpc), whic…

Isochrone fitting of Galactic globular clusters -- V. NGC6397 and NGC6809 (M55)

George A. Gontcharov, Charles J. Bonatto, Olga S. Ryutina +8

We fit various colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the Galactic globular clusters NGC\,6397 and NGC\,6809 (M55) by isochrones from the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database (DSED) a…

Study of the Open Clusters in Kepler Prime Field

Yüksel Karataş, Hikmet Çakmak, İnci Akkaya Oralhan +3

We present a detailed study of NGC 6791, NGC 6811, NGC 6819 and NGC 6866, the four open clusters that are located in the Kepler prime field. We use new CCD UBV(RI)KC photometry, wh…
