We present a UBV CCD photometric study of four open clusters, NGC 7245, King 9, IC 166 and King 13, located between $l = 90^o - 135^o$. All are embedded in a rich galactic field. NGC 7245 and King 9 are close together in the sky and have similar reddenings. The distances and ages are: NGC 7245, 3.8$pm$0.35 kpc and 400 Myr; King 9 (the most distant cluster in this quadrant) 7.9$pm$1.1 kpc and 3.0 Gyr. King 13 is 3.1$pm$0.3 kpc distant and 300 Myr old. King 9 and IC 166 (4.8$pm$0.5 kpc distant & 1 Gyr old) may be metal poor clusters (Z=0.008), as estimated from isochrone fitting. The average value of the distance of young clusters from the galactic plane in the above longitude range and beyond 2 kpc ($-47pm$16 pc, for 64 clusters), indicates that the young disk bends towards the southern latitudes.

We analyse the poorly-studied open cluster King~1 in the second Galactic quadrant. From wide-field photometry we have studied the spatial distribution of this cluster. We determined that the centre of King~1 is located at $alpha_{2000}=00^{rm h}22^{r
m m}$ and $delta_{2000}=+64degr23arcmin$. By parameterizing the stellar density with a King profile we have obtained a central density of $rho_{0}=6.5pm0.2$ star arcmin$^{-2}$ and a core radius of $r_{rm core}=1farcm9pm0farcm2$. By comparing the observed color-magnitude diagram of King~1 with those of similar open clusters and with different sets of isochrones, we have estimated an age of $2.8pm0.3$ Gyr, a distance modulus of $(m-M)_{rm o}=10.6pm0.1$ mag, and a reddening of $E(B-V)=0.80pm0.05$ mag. To complete our analysis we acquired medium resolution spectra for 189 stars in the area of King~1. From their derived radial velocities we determined an average velocity $leftlangle V_rrightrangle $=-53.1$pm$3.1 km s$^{-1}$. From the strength of the infrared mbox{Ca,{sc ii}} lines in red giants we have determined an average metallicity of $leftlangle [M/H]rightrangle$=+0.07$pm$0.08 dex. From spectral synthesis we have also estimated an $alpha$-elements abundance of $leftlangle [alpha/M]rightrangle$=-0.10$pm$0.08 dex.
Context: Open clusters are key to studying the formation and evolution of the Galactic disc. However, there is a deficiency of radial velocity and chemical abundance determinations for open clusters in the literature. Aims: We intend to increase the
number of determinations of radial velocities and metallicities from spectroscopy for open clusters. Methods: We acquired medium-resolution spectra (R~8000) in the infrared region Ca II triplet lines (~8500 AA) for several stars in five open clusters with the long-slit IDS spectrograph on the 2.5~m Isaac Newton Telescope (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, Spain). Radial velocities were obtained by cross-correlation fitting techniques. The relationships available in the literature between the strength of infrared Ca II lines and metallicity were also used to derive the metallicity for each cluster. Results: We obtain <V_r> = 48.6+/-3.4, -58.4+/-6.8, 26.0+/-4.3 and -65.3+/-3.2 km s-1 for Berkeley 23, NGC 559, NGC 6603 and NGC 7245, respectively. We found [Fe/H] =-0.25+/-0.14 and -0.15+/-0.18 for NGC 559 and NGC 7245, respectively. Berkeley 23 has a low metallicity, [Fe/H] =-0.42+/-0.13, similar to other open clusters in the outskirts of the Galactic disc. In contrast, we derived a high metallicity ([Fe/H] =+0.43+/-0.15) for NGC 6603, which places this system among the most metal rich known open clusters. To our knowledge, this is the first determination of radial velocities and metallicities from spectroscopy for these clusters, except NGC 6603, for which radial velocities had been previously determined. We have also analysed ten stars in the line of sight to King 1. Because of the large dispersion obtained in both radial velocity and metallicity, we cannot be sure that we have sampled true cluster members.
We have obtained CCD BVI imaging of the old open clusters Berkeley 32 and King 11. Using the synthetic colour-magnitude diagram method with three different sets of stellar evolution models of various metallicities, with and without overshooting, we h
ave determined their age, distance, reddening, and indicative metallicity, as well as distance from the Galactic centre and height from the Galactic plane. The best parameters derived for Berkeley 32 are: subsolar metallicity (Z=0.008 represents the best choice, Z=0.006 or 0.01 are more marginally acceptable), age = 5.0-5.5 Gyr (models with overshooting; without overshooting the age is 4.2-4.4 Gyr with poorer agreement), (m-M)_0=12.4-12.6, E(B-V)=0.12-0.18 (with the lower value being more probable because it corresponds to the best metallicity), Rgc ~ 10.7-11 kpc, and |Z| ~ 231-254 pc. The best parameters for King 11 are: Z=0.01, age=3.5-4.75 Gyr, (m-M)_0=11.67-11.75, E(B-V)=1.03-1.06, Rgc ~ 9.2-10 kpc, and |Z| ~ 253-387 pc.
In this paper, we present astrophysical parameters of the open cluster King 13 based on the VI CCD and 2MASS JHKs photometric data. This is a poorly studied cluster, for which new results have been found in the present work. To identify probable memb
ers, we use proper motion data from Gaia DR2 catalogue. The mean proper motion of the cluster is determined as -2.8 pm 0.2 and -0.88 pm 0.14 mas yr{-1} and cluster extent is derived as 3.2. Using color-magnitude diagrams, we estimate the age and distance of the cluster as 510 pm 60 Myr and 3.84 pm 0.15 kpc respectively. Interstellar reddening E(B-V) in the direction of the cluster is determined as 0.80 pm 0.2 mag using color-color diagram. Mass function slope of the cluster is found to be comparable with the Salpeter value. The total mass of this cluster is derived as 270 M_{odot}. The present analysis shows that King 13 is a dynamically relaxed cluster.
This paper presents an investigation of an old age open cluster King 11 using Gaias Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) data. Considering the stars with membership probability ($P_{mu}$) $> 90%$, we identified 676 most probable cluster members within the clu
sters limiting radius. The mean proper motion (PM) for King 11 is determined as: $mu_{x}=-3.391pm0.006$ and $mu_{y}=-0.660pm0.004$ mas yr$^{-1}$. The blue straggler stars (BSS) of King 11 show a centrally concentrated radial distribution. The values of limiting radius, age, and distance are determined as 18.51 arcmin, 3.63$pm$0.42 Gyr and $3.33pm0.15$ kpc, respectively. The clusters apex coordinates ($A=267.84^{circ} pm 1.01^{circ}$, $D=-27.48^{circ} pm 1.03^{circ}$) are determined using the apex diagram (AD) method and verified using the ($mu_U$,$mu_T$) diagram. We also obtained the orbit that the cluster follows in the Galaxy and estimated its tentative birthplace in the disk. The resulting spatial velocity of King 11 is 60.2 $pm$ 2.16 km s$^{-1}$. A significant oscillation along the $Z$-coordinate up to 0.556$pm$0.022~kpc is determined.
