Scientific paper

Photographic photometry has been used to survey areas in three intermediate-age open clusters, M6, M34, and Praesepe, for white dwarfs. Photometric candidates have been found in M34 and Praesepe, clusters with turnoff masses of 3 and 2 solar masses. The results of these studies, when considered in the light of previous results in other cluster surveys, indicate that the upper mass limit for white dwarf progenitors is near 5 solar masses.
