Open Clusters: C-M Diagrams, Open Clusters: Luminosity Function

Scientific paper

Using the relative proper motions and membership probabilities of 785 stars in the region of the open cluster M11 the authors found for the cluster, a distance of 1659 pc, and an age of (1.8 - 2.2)×108yr, a radius of about 24.5 pc, a luminosity mass of 4354 Msun, and a virial mass of 5000 Msun. A method is proposed to derive the present-day luminosity function from the observed luminosity function. The analysis shows that the cluster stars show quite a clear mass segregation effect in space and that while mass segregation in the velocities does exist, it is not so obvious.
