Abstract:
While performing galactic and extragalactic studies near the galactic
plane in Cepheus. CCD frames in B, V, and R were taken of the faint
(V>=16m), previously unstudied open star cluster Berkeley 93 (Be 93).
Our results indicate that this object is the core of a larger
aggregate. is slightly evolved. strongly reddened [E(B-V)~1.5], and
shows a pronounced variable reddening that is probably due to the
location of the cluster inside (near the border) a dust cloud. By far
the reddest, and obviously most evolved star is a (variable) carbon
star that-because of its reddening and location-appears to be a
cluster member. We present arguments in favor of a large distance of
more than 5kpc for Be 93 which possibly belongs to the galactic warp.
As an addendum, we present six star concentrations discovered on the
POSS or ESO/SERC atlas that might represent hitherto uncatalogued open
star clusters of "Berkeley type."
