In this study, we carried out CCD UBV photometry of eight open clusters, ASCC 115, Collinder 421, NGC 6793, NGC 7031, NGC 7039, NGC 7086, Roslund 1, Stock 21, and determined their reddening, metallicity, distance, age, and mass functions. We used new Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) astrometric data to separate cluster member stars from the field stars and obtain precise structural and astrophysical parameters. To identify cluster member stars we utilized an unsupervised membership assignment code (UPMASK), which is based on the photometric and astrometric data. The density distributions for the open clusters show good fits with the empirical King model except for Roslund 1 and Stock 21 not having central concentration. The colour excesses and metallicities were derived separately using U-B vs B-V two-colour diagrams. Keeping these parameters as constants, we simultaneously calculated distance moduli and ages of the clusters from V vs B-V and V vs U-B colour-magnitude diagrams using PARSEC theoretical isochrones. Taking into account Gaia DR2 proper motion components and parallaxes of the member stars, we also calculated mean proper motions and distances for the clusters. Distances derived both from isochrone fitting to colour-magnitude diagrams of the clusters and Gaia DR2 trigonometric parallaxes are compatible with each other. Slopes of the mass functions of the eight open clusters are in good agreement with Salpeter (1955) value of 1.35.

In this study, we present CCD UBV photometry of poorly studied open star clusters, Dolidze 36, NGC 6728, NGC 6800, NGC 7209, and Platais 1, located in the first and second Galactic quadrants. Observations were obtained with T100, the 1-m telescope of the TUBITAK National Observatory. Using photometric data, we determined several astrophysical parameters such as reddening, distance, metallicity and ages and from them, initial mass functions, integrated magnitudes and colours. We took into account the proper motions of the observed stars to calculate the membership probabilities. The colour excesses and metallicities were determined independently using two-colour diagrams. After obtaining the colour excesses of the clusters Dolidze 36, NGC 6728, NGC 6800, NGC 7209, and Platais 1 as $0.19pm0.06$, $0.15pm0.05$, $0.32pm0.05$, $0.12pm0.04$, and $0.43pm0.06$ mag, respectively, the metallicities are found to be $0.00pm0.09$, $0.02pm0.11$, $0.03pm0.07$, $0.01pm0.08$, and $0.01pm0.08$ dex, respectively. Furthermore, using these parameters, distance moduli and age of the clusters were also calculated from colour-magnitude diagrams simultaneously using PARSEC theoretical models. The distances to the clusters Dolidze 36, NGC 6728, NGC 6800, NGC 7209, and Platais 1 are $1050pm90$, $1610pm190$, $1210pm150$, $1060pm 90$, and $1710pm250$ pc, respectively, while corresponding ages are $400pm100$, $750pm150$, $400pm100$, $600pm100$, and $175pm50$ Myr, respectively. Our results are compatible with those found in previous studies. The mass function of each cluster is derived. The slopes of the mass functions of the open clusters range from 1.31 to 1.58, which are in agreement with Salpeters initial mass function. We also found integrated absolute magnitudes varying from -4.08 to -3.40 for the clusters.

We present reddening, photometric metallicity, age and distance estimates for the Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 open clusters based on CCD UBV photometric and Gaia data. Photometric observations were collected using the 1-m telescope of the TUB.ITAK National Observatory. Gaia DR2 proper motion data in the direction of two groupings were used to identify cluster membership. We determined mean proper motion values ($ mu_{alpha}cosdelta, mu_{delta}$) = ($-3.02pm 0.10$, $-1.75 pm 0.08$) and ($-3.66 pm 0.07$, $-2.17 pm 0.06$) mas yr$^{-1}$ for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510, respectively. We used two-colour diagrams to obtain $E(B-V)$ colour excesses for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 as $0.65pm0.06$ and $1.05pm0.05$ mag, respectively. We derived the photometric metallicity of Frolov 1 as [Fe/H] = 0.03$pm$0.03 dex and adopted a solar metallicity for NGC 7510. Based on these reddening and metallicities we determined the distance moduli and ages of the clusters via fitting PARSEC isochrones to the cluster colour-magnitude diagrams. Isochrone fitting distances for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 are $2864 pm 254$ and $2818 pm 247$ pc, respectively, which correspond to the ages $35pm 10$ Myr and $18pm 6$ Myr. We also calculated mean Gaia distances and compared them with those given in the literature and in this study, concluding that our results are in good agreement with previous work. Finally, we calculated the mass function slopes as being $X=-1.21pm0.18$ for Frolov 1 and $X=-1.42pm0.27$ for NGC 7510.

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.
We present an analysis of three southern open star clusters NGC 6067, NGC 2506 and IC 4651 using wide-field photometric and Gaia DR2 astrometric data. They are poorly studied clusters. We took advantage of the synergy between Gaia DR2 high precision astrometric measurements and ground based wide-field photometry to isolate cluster members and further study these clusters. We identify the cluster members using proper motions, parallax and colour-magnitude diagrams. Mean proper motion of the clusters in RA and DEC is estimated as -1.90 pm 0.01 and -2.57 pm 0.01 mas/yr for NGC 6067, -2.57 pm 0.01 and 3.92 pm 0.01 mas/yr for NGC 2506 and -2.41 pm 0.01 and -5.05 pm 0.02 mas/yr for IC 4651. Distances are estimated as 3.01 pm 0.87, 3.88 pm 0.42 and 1.00 pm 0.08 kpc for the clusters NGC 6067, NGC 2506 and IC 4651 respectively using parallaxes taken from Gaia DR2 catalogue. Galactic orbits are determined for these clusters using Galactic potential models.We find that these clusters have circular orbits. Cluster radii are determined as 10 arcmin for NGC 6067, 12 arcmin for NGC 2506 and 11 arcmin for IC 4651. Ages of the clusters estimated by isochrones fitting are 66 pm 8 Myr, 2.09 pm 0.14 Gyr and 1.59 pm 0.14 Gyr for NGC 6067, NGC 2506 and IC 4651 respectively. Mass function slope for the entire region of cluster NGC 2506 is found to be comparable with the Salpeter value in the mass range 0.77 - 1.54 Solar mass. The mass function analysis shows that the slope becomes flat when one goes from halo to core region in all the three clusters. A comparison of dynamical age with clusters age indicates that NGC 2506 and IC 4651 are dynamically relaxed clusters.
We present the results of CCD $UBV$ photometric and spectroscopic observations of the open cluster NGC 225. In order to determine the structural parameters of NGC 225, we calculated the stellar density profile in the clusters field. We estimated the probabilities of the stars being physical members of the cluster using the existing astrometric data. The most likely members of the cluster were used in the determination of the astrophysical parameters of the cluster. We calculated the mean radial velocity of the cluster as $V_{r}=-8.3pm 5.0$ km s$^{-1}$ from the optical spectra of eight stars in the clusters field. Using the U-B vs B-V two-colour diagram and UV excesses of the F-G type main-sequence stars, the reddening and metallicity of NGC 225 were inferred as $E(B-V)=0.151pm 0.047$ mag and $[Fe/H]=-0.11pm 0.01$ dex, respectively. We fitted the colour-magnitude diagrams of NGC 225 with the PARSEC isochrones and derived the distance modulus, distance and age of the cluster as $mu_{V}=9.3pm 0.07$ mag, d=585$pm$20 pc and $t=900pm 100$ Myr, respectively. We also estimated the galactic orbital parameters and space velocity components of the cluster and found that the cluster has a slightly eccentric orbit of $e=0.07pm 0.01$ and an orbital period of $P_{orb}= 255pm 5$ Myr.
