About article:
The study of open clusters naturally introduces many advantages, because they
are physically related groups of stars held together by mutual gravitational
attraction that were formed at roughly the same time from one large cosmic
gas and dust cloud. Their evolutionary stages range from clouds where star
formation takes still place at this moment, to very old aggregates with
turn-off points as late as solar type stars. Therefore, they represent
samples of Population I stars of constant age and comparable intrinsic
chemical composition, suited for the study of processes linked with
stellar structure and evolution, and they fix lines or loci in several most
important astrophysical diagrams.
