Abstract:
The kinematic state of the open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 has
been studied using newly determined proper motions for 540 stars in a
field of 1.5°x1.5° in the Taurus dark cloud region. The proper
motions are obtained from the reduction of PDS measurements of 20
plates that span a total time interval of 68 years, resulting in an
average proper motion accuracy of 0.67mas/yr. These proper motions are
used to determine the membership probabilities of stars in the region
by means of a new, improved method described in this paper. Of the 540
stars analyzed here, 332 are found to be probable members of NGC 1750,
and 23 are probable members of NGC 1758. The core radii of NGC 1750
and NGC 1758 are determined to be 17.2' and 2.25' respectively.
