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.
