Teff and L for stars in 7 open clusters

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

To study the time evolution of magnetic fields, chemical abundance peculiarities, and other characteristics of magnetic Ap and Bp stars during their main sequence lives, a sample of these stars in open clusters has been obtained, as such stars can be assumed to have the same ages as the clusters to which they belong.

Description

However, in exploring age determinations in the literature, we find a large dispersion among different age determinations, even for bright, nearby clusters.

Our aim is to obtain ages that are as accurate as possible for the seven nearby open clusters {alpha} Per, Coma Ber, IC 2602, NGC 2232, NGC 2451A, NGC 2516, and NGC 6475, each of which contains at least one magnetic Ap or Bp star. Simultaneously, we test the current calibrations of T_e_ and luminosity for the Ap/Bp star members, and identify clearly blue stragglers in the clusters studied. We explore the possibility that isochrone fitting in the theoretical Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (i.e. log(L/L_{sun}_) vs. logT_e_), rather than in the conventional colour-magnitude diagram, can provide more precise and accurate cluster ages, with well-defined uncertainties.
