Abstract:
    We present CCD UBVI observations obtained in the field of the two
    previously unstudied dissolving open cluster candidates NGC 7036 and
    NGC 7772. Our analysis suggests that both the objects are Open Cluster
    Remnants (OCR). NGC 7036 is an open cluster remnant with a core radius
    of about 3-4 arcmin. We derive for the first time estimates of its
    fundamental parameters. We identify 17 likely members that define a
    group of stars at 1kpc from the Sun, with a low reddening E(B-V)~0.1,
    and with an age of about 3-4Gyr. As for NGC 7772, we identify 14
    likely members, that define a group of stars with a very low
    reddening (E(B-V)~0.03), are 1.5Gyr old and are located about 1.5kpc
    from the Sun.
