A deep study of an intermediate age open cluster SAI 35 (Juchert 20) using ground based imaging and Gaia EDR3 astrometry


Abstract in English

We present CCD $UBVI$ photometric study of poorly studied intermediate age open cluster SAI 35 (Juchert 20) for the first time. To accomplish this study, we also used LAMOST DR5, 2MASS, and Gaia EDR3 databases. We identified 214 most probable cluster members with membership probability higher than 50%. The mean proper motion of the cluster is found as mu_{alpha}cosdelta=1.10 pm 0.01 and mu_{delta}=-1.66 pm 0.01 mas/yr. We find the normal interstellar extinction law using the various two-color diagrams. The age, distance, reddening, and radial velocity of the cluster are estimated to be 360 pm 40 Myr, 2.9 pm 0.15 kpc, 0.72 pm 0.05 mag and -91.62 pm 6.39 km/sec. The overall mass function slope for main-sequence stars is found to be 1.49pm0.16 within the mass range 1.1-3.1 M_odot, which is in agreement with Salpeters value within uncertainty. The present study demonstrates that SAI 35 is a dynamically relaxed. Galactic orbital parameters are determined using Galactic potential models. We found that this object follows a circular path around the Galactic center.
