Scientific paper

We show that an extended population of stars escaping an evolved cluster and moving along its galactic orbit forms at the final phases of its dynamical evolution. Here we present some results of the numerical simulations for nearest open clusters: Hyades, Pleiades, Praesepe, Alpha Persei, Coma, IC 2391, and IC 2602. We calculated the models of the stellar tails for nearest open clusters and estimated some parameters: sizes, densities, locations relative to the solar neighborhood. Stars of the nearest tails can be observed as moving clusters.
