Scientific paper

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III/Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (SDSS-III/APOGEE) is a large-scale spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars and star clusters. The SDSS-III/APOGEE survey is designed to produce high-S/N, R = 22,500 spectra that cover a wavelength range of 1.51 to 1.68 microns. By utilizing APOGEE's excellent kinematics (velocity errors = 0.2 km/s) and abundances (errors 0.1 dex). We can study star cluster kinematics and chemical properties in detail. In this poster we present an analysis of 16 confirmed and candidate open clusters targeted in the APOGEE "first light” field, in the constellation of Cygnus. The APOGEE data are used to determine cluster membership and metallicities allowing for improved or first determinations of basic cluster parameters (age, chemistry, distance, reddening).
