Astrometric Study of Galactic Clusters. I. NGC 3532
Abstract: Astrometric study of
galactic clusters using UCAC2 catalog containing proper motion data is
described. Kinematical analysis is applied to determine cluster membership. The
near infrared photometric data of the same catalog is used to derive physical
parameters of the cluster. In the present study the case for NGC 3532 is given.
An isochrones fitting to the color-magnitude diagram gives the age of cluster
in log t = 8.85 and the distance of 515
± 41 pc with infrared reddening in J filter of
0.043 ± 0.017 mag. Our results are in good agreement with results of previous studies.
