We present the broad band UBVI CCD photometric investigations in the region of the two open clusters Haffner 11 and Czernik 31. The radii of the clusters are determined as 3.5 arcmin and 3.0 arcmin for Haffner 11 and Czernik 31 respectively. Using two colour (U-B) versus (B-V) diagram we determine the reddening E(B-V) = 0.50+/-0.05 mag and 0.48+/-0.05 mag for the cluster Haffner 11 and Czernik 31 respectively. Using 2MASS JHKs and optical data, we determined E(J-K) = 0.27+/-0.06 mag and E(V-K) = 1.37+/-0.06 for Haffner 11 and E(J-K) = 0.26+/-0.08 mag and E(V-K) = 1.32+/-0.08 mag for Czernik 31. Our analysis indicate normal interstellar extinction law in the direction of both the clusters. Distance of the clusters is determined as 5.8+/-0.5 Kpc for Haffner 11 and 3.2+/-0.3 Kpc for Czernik 31 by comparing the ZAMS with the CM diagram of the clusters. The age of the cluster has been estimated as 800+/-100 Myr for Haffner 11 and 160+/-40 Myr for Czernik 31 using the stellar isochrones of metallicity Z = 0.019.

This paper presents an investigation on the four open clusters Czernik 14, Haffner 14, Haffner 17 and King 10 located near the Perseus arm of Milky Way Galaxy using Gaia DR2, 2MASS, WISE, APASS and Pan-STARRS1 data sets. We find normal interstellar e
xtinction in twelve photometric bands for these clusters. Likely cluster members are identified as 225, 353, 350 and 395 for Czernik 14, Haffner 14, Haffner 17 and King 10, respectively by using Gaia DR2 proper motion data. Radii are determined as 3.5, 3.7, 6.2 and 5.7 arcmin for Czernik 14, Haffner 14, Haffner 17 and King 10 respectively. Mean proper motions in RA and DEC are estimated as (-0.42 pm 0.02, -0.38 pm 0.01), (-1.82 pm 0.009, 1.73 pm 0.008), (-1.17 pm 0.007, 1.88 pm 0.006) and (-2.75 pm 0.008, -2.04 pm 0.006) mas/yr for Czernik 14, Haffner 14, Haffner 17 and King 10, respectively. The comparison of observed CMDs with solar metallicity isochrones leads to an age of 570 pm 60, 320 pm 35, 90 pm 10 and 45 pm 5 Myr for these clusters. The distances 2.9 pm 0.1, 4.8 pm 0.4, 3.6 pm 0.1 and 3.8 pm 0.1 kpc determined using parallax are comparable with the values derived by the isochrone fitting method. Mass function slopes are found to be in good agreement with the Salpeter value. The total masses are derived as 348, 595, 763 and 1088 solar mass for the clusters Czernik 14, Haffner 14, Haffner 17 and King 10, respectively. Evidence for the existence of mass-segregation effect is observed in each cluster. Using the Galactic potential model, Galactic orbits are derived for the clusters. The present study indicates that all clusters under study fallow a circular path around the Galactic center.
We present BVI photometry for poorly known southern hemisphere open clusters: NGC 2425, Haffner 10 and Czernik 29. We have calculated the density profile and established the number of stars in each cluster. The colour-magnitude diagrams of the object
s show a well-defined main sequence. However, the red giant clump is present only in NGC 2425 and Haffner 10. For these two clusters we estimated the age as 2.5 +/- 0.5 Gyr assuming metallicity of Z=0.008. The apparent distance moduli are in the ranges 13.2<(m-M)_V<13.6 and 14.3<(m-M)_V<14.7, while heliocentric distances are estimated to be 2.9<d<3.8 kpc and 3.1<d<4.3 kpc, respectively for NGC 2425 and Haffner 10. The angular separation of 2.4 deg (150 pc at mean distance) may indicate a common origin of the two clusters.
We present BV CCD photometry for the open clusters Czernik 24 and Czernik 27. These clusters have never been studied before, and we provide, for the first time, the cluster parameters; reddening, distance, metallicity and age. Czernik 24 is an old op
en cluster with age 1.8 +/- 0.2 Gyr, metallicity [Fe/H]=-0.41 +/- 0.15 dex, distance modulus (m-M)_0 = 13.1 +/- 0.3 mag (d=4.1 +/- 0.5 kpc), and reddening E(B-V) = 0.54 +/- 0.12 mag. The parameters for Czernik 27 are estimated to be age = 0.63 +/- 0.07 Gyr, [Fe/H]= -0.02 +/- 0.10 dex, (m-M)_0 = 13.8 +/- 0.2 mag (d=5.8 +/- 0.5 kpc), and E(B-V) = 0.15 +/- 0.05 mag. The metallicity and distance values for Czernik 24 are consistent with the relation between the metallicity and the Galactocentric distance of other old open clusters. We find the metallicity gradient of 51 old open clusters including Czernik 24 to be Delta [Fe/H]/Delta R_gc= -0.064 +/- 0.009 dex/kpc.
We analysed the open clusters Czernik 2 and NGC 7654 using CCD UBV photometric and Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) photometric and astrometric data. Structural parameters of the two clusters were derived, including the physical sizes of Czernik 2 be
ing r=5 and NGC 7654 as 8 min. We calculated membership probabilities of stars based on their proper motion components as released in the Gaia EDR3. To identify member stars of the clusters, we used these membership probabilities taking into account location and the impact of binarity on main-sequence stars. We used membership probabilities higher than $P=0.5$ to identify 28 member stars for Czernik 2 and 369 for NGC 7654. We estimated colour-excesses and metallicities separately using two-colour diagrams to derive homogeneously determined parameters. The derived $E(B-V)$ colour excess is 0.46(0.02) mag for Czernik 2 and 0.57(0.04) mag for NGC 7654. Metallicities were obtained for the first time for both clusters, -0.08(0.02) dex for Czernik 2 and -0.05(0.01) dex for NGC 7654. Keeping the reddening and metallicity as constant quantities, we fitted PARSEC models using colour-magnitude diagrams, resulting in estimated distance moduli and ages of the two clusters. We obtained the distance modulus for Czernik 2 as 12.80(0.07) mag and for NGC 7654 as 13.20(0.16) mag, which coincide with ages of 1.2(0.2) Gyr and 120(20) Myr, respectively. The distances to the clusters were calculated using the Gaia EDR3 trigonometric parallaxes and compared with the literature. We found good agreement between the distances obtained in this study and the literature. Present day mass function slopes for both clusters are comparable with the value of Salpeter (1955), being X=-1.37(0.24) for Czernik 2 and X=-1.39(0.19) for NGC 7654.
The morphology and cluster membership of the Galactic open clusters - Czernik 20 and NGC 1857 were analyzed using two different clustering algorithms. We present the maiden use of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) t
o determine open cluster morphology from spatial distribution. The region of analysis has also been spatially classified using a statistical membership determination algorithm. We utilized near infrared (NIR) data for a suitably large region around the clusters from the United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky Survey Galactic Plane Survey star catalogue database, and also from the Two Micron All Sky Survey star catalogue database. The densest regions of the cluster morphologies (1 for Czernik 20 and 2 for NGC 1857) thus identified were analyzed with a K-band extinction map and color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). To address significant discrepancy in known distance and reddening parameters, we carried out field decontamination of these CMDs and subsequent isochrone fitting of the cleaned CMDs to obtain reliable distance and reddening parameters for the clusters (Czernik 20: D = 2900 pc; E(J-K) = 0.33; NGC 1857: D = 2400 pc; E(J-K) = 0.18-0.19). The isochrones were also used to convert the luminosity functions for the densest regions of Czernik 20 and NGC 1857 into mass function, to derive their slopes. Additionally, a previously unknown over-density consistent with that of a star cluster is identified in the region of analysis.
