Homogenized Hertzsprung‐Russell diagram for the open cluster NGC 188

V. Malyuto, Sergey Zubarev, T. Shvelidze

Abstract

Abstract We considered some selected published stellar catalogues with B – V and V values for the open cluster NGC 188 and estimated the errors from data comparisons. The results are used to homogenize the data by averaging with weights inversely proportional to the errors squared. A recent calibration by Casagrande et al. (2010) of B – V versus effective temperatures for F, G, and K dwarfs and subgiants is used to produce the homogenized effective temperatures for the cluster stars. A homogenized Hertzsprung‐Russell diagram (relationship between the effective temperatures and the absolute magnitudes) is presented and analysed. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
