Scientific paper

Open Cluster Remnants (OCRs) are poorly populated groups of stars in an advanced stage of the evolution of open clusters. These systems are specially rich in late-type stars and binary systems of stars, of which a fraction is predicted by numerical simulations and evolutionary models to be RS CVn, cataclysmic variables and low-mass X-ray binaries. X-ray observations play an important role for the identification of those kinds of interacting binaries, which is crucial to validate the current models describing the final stages of star clusters. We propose to investigate for the first time the X-ray content of an OCR, NGC 1901, looking for signatures of accreting/interacting binary systems and active stars in order to put constraints on the evolutionary models.
