Clusters: Open, Proper Motions

Scientific paper

The astrometric accuracy of triple image Carte du Ciel plates has been analysed using plates of the open cluster NGC 1647. A new multithreshold technique was used for the treatment of the triple image plates. Accuracies ranging from 100mas to 200mas were found. We determined proper motions with a median accuracy of 1.6mas/a for 2220 stars in the field of NGC 1647. The membership probabilities of stars in the cluster region agree very well with the data of Francic (1989). Due to a significant difference of the proper motions of SZ Tau and the cluster members, SZ Tau seems not to be a member of NGC 1647. (1 data file).
