Description:
In this catalogue the evolutionary masses and ages of about 1030 stars
in 12 open clusters for which the UBV photoelectric photometry
has been carried out at the U.P. State Observatory, Nainital, India
are listed. The mass and age of a star can be estimated by its
position in the H-R diagram using the theoretical evolutionary
tracks of stars with different masses. In comparison to field
stars, members of an open cluster are more suitable objects for
such calculations because of the homogeneous chemical composition
in the clusters and the reliability of luminosities and temperatures
determined from the cluster UBV data (Piskunov, 1980)
See the list of clusters in the Note(1) below.
