Abstract:
The wide neighborhoods of 401 open clusters are analysed using the the
modern, high precision, homogeneous all sky ASCC-2.5 all-sky catalogue
(Kharchenko, 2001, Cat. I/280). More than 28000 possible members
(including about 12500 most probable ones) are identified using
kinematic and photometric criteria. Star counts with the ASCC-2.5 and
USNO-A2.0 (Cat. I/252) catalogs are used to determine the angular
and linear radii of cluster cores and coronae, which exceed the
previous published values by factors of two or three. The mean proper
motions are determined directly in the Hipparcos system for 401 open
clusters, for 183 of them for the first time. The heliocentric
distances of 118 clusters are determined for the first time based on
color-magnitude diagrams for the identified members.
