Real Size And Membership Richness Determination Of High-Latitude Open Clusters

TL;DR

This paper employs proper motion data to accurately determine the true size and membership richness of high-latitude open clusters, improving understanding of their structure and composition.

Contribution

It introduces a method for assessing the size and membership of high-latitude open clusters using proper motion measurements, which is novel for this specific cluster population.

Findings

Accurate measurements of cluster sizes at high galactic latitudes.

Refined estimates of membership richness for the studied clusters.

Enhanced understanding of high-latitude open cluster properties.

Abstract

We use proper motion measurements to determine the real size and membership richness of a sample of open clusters located at high galactic latitudes (40 < |b| < 90).
