Description:
474 radial-velocity observations and new UBV photoelectric data for 55
and 20 red giants respectively, in the field of the intermediate-age
open cluster NGC 2099 are presented and analysed for membership and
duplicity. The membership of 35 red giants has been confirmed, 16
spectroscopic binaries have been discovered and 11 orbits have been
determined. The cluster binary-frequency lower limit is slightly above
the average (9/35=26%). The radial distribution of the red giants
shows a sharp limit between members and non-members. No mass
segregation is observed between the binary and single red giants. The
latest isochrones from the Geneva and Padova groups reproduce very
well the observed morphology in the colour-magnitude diagram for log
t=8.65 and z=0.02, with (m-M)=11.50 and E(B-V)=0.29.
