Findings

Estimated astrophysical parameters for Ruprecht 13, 16, and 24.

First-time analysis of these clusters' properties.

Provides foundational data for future studies.

Abstract

We present here the astrophysical parameters of three stellar open cluster candidates using PPMXL1 database. In this study, the main photometric, astrometry and statistical parameters of Ruprecht 13, Ruprecht 16 and Ruprecht 24 are estimated for the first time.
