Abstract:
Radial-velocity observations of 35 red giants in the field of the
intermediate-age open clusters NGC 3680 and IC 4651 are presented and
analysed for membership and duplicity. Five stars in NGC 3680 and one in
IC 4651 were identified as non-members, and six and five spectroscopic
binaries, respectively, were discovered among the red giant members in the
two clusters. Orbits have been determined for seven of the binaries, four
of which are still preliminary. The mean cluster velocities of NGC 3680
and IC 4651 are 0.9+/-0.2km/s and -31.0+/-0.2km/s respectively. The
morphology of the red giant region in the colour magnitude diagrams shows
a well-populated clump in both clusters. In both clusters, one certain
member star is clearly brighter and redder than the clump, while IC 4651
shows, in addition, a probable concentration of stars on the ascending
giant branch.
