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 clusters 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.

We present a BVI optical photometric study of the old open cluster Ruprecht 6 using the data obtained with the SMARTS 1.0 m telescope at the CTIO, Chile. Its color-magnitude diagrams show the clear existence of the main-sequence stars, of which turn- off point is located around V ~ 18.45 mag and B-V ~ 0.85 mag. Three red clump (RC) stars are identified at V = 16.00 mag, I = 14.41 mag and B-V = 1.35 mag. From the mean Ks-band magnitude of RC stars (Ks=12.39 +- 0.21 mag) in Ruprecht 6 from 2MASS photometry and the known absolute magnitudes of the RC stars (M_Ks = -1.595 +- 0.025 mag), we obtain the distance modulus to Ruprecht 6 (m-M)_0 = 13.84 +- 0.21 mag (d=5.86 +- 0.60 kpc). From the (J-K_s) and (B-V) colors of the RC stars, comparison of the (B-V) and (V-I) colors of the bright stars in Ruprecht 6 with those of the intrinsic colors of dwarf and giant stars, and the PARSEC isochrone fittings, we derive the reddening values of E(B-V) = 0.42 mag and E(V-I) = 0.60 mag. Using the PARSEC isochrone fittings onto the color-magnitude diagrams, we estimate the age and metallicity to be: log (t) =9.50 +- 0.10 (t =3.16 +- 0.82 Gyr) and [Fe/H] = -0.42 +- 0.04 dex. We present the Galactocentric radial metallicity gradient analysis for old (age > 1 Gyr) open clusters of Dias et al. catalog, which likely follow a single relation of [Fe/H] =(-0.034 +- 0.007) R_GC + (0.190 +- 0.080) (rms = 0.201) for the whole radial range or dual relation of [Fe/H] =(-0.077 +- 0.017) R_GC + (0.609 +- 0.161) (rms = 0.152) and constant ([Fe/H] ~ -0.3 dex) value, inside and outside of R_GC ~ 12 kpc, respectively. The metallicity and Galactocentric radius (13.28 +- 0.54 kpc) of Ruprecht 6 obtained in this study seem to be consistent with both of the relations.
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.

We present JHK near-infrared photometric study for the old open cluster (OC) Trumpler 5 (Tr 5), based on the 2MASS data. From the color-magnitude diagrams of Tr 5, we have located the position of the red giant clump (RGC) stars, and used the mean mag nitude of the RGC stars in K-band to estimate the distance to Tr 5, d = 3.1 +/- 0.1 kpc ((m-M)_0 = 12.46 +/- 0.04). From fitting the theoretical isochrones of Padova group, we have estimated the reddening, metallicity, and age : E(B-V) = 0.64 +/- 0.05, [Fe/H] = -0.4 +/- 0.1 dex, and t =2.8 +/- 0.2 Gyr (log t=9.45 +/- 0.04), respectively. These parameters generally agree well with those obtained from the previous studies on Tr 5 and confirms that this cluster is an old OC with metallicity being metal-poorer than solar abundance, located in the anti-Galactic center region.
We present a comprehensive photometric analysis of a young open cluster NGC 1960 (M36) along with the long-term variability study of this cluster. Based on the kinematic data of Gaia DR2, the membership probabilities of 3871 stars are ascertained in the cluster field among which 262 stars are found to be cluster members. Considering the kinematic and trigonometric measurements of the cluster members, we estimate a mean cluster parallax of 0.86+/-0.05 mas and mean proper motions of mu_RA = -0.143+/-0.008 mas/yr, mu_Dec = -3.395+/-0.008 mas/yr. We obtain basic parameters of the cluster such as E(B-V) = 0.24+/-0.02 mag, log(Age/yr)=7.44+/-0.02, and distance = 1.17+/-0.06 kpc. The mass function slope in the cluster for the stars in the mass range of 0.72-7.32 M_solar is found to be gamma = -1.26+/-0.19. We find that mass segregation is still taking place in the cluster which is yet to be dynamically relaxed. This work also presents first high-precision variability survey in the central 13x13 among which 72 are periodic variables. Among them, 59 are short-period (P<1 day)and 13 are long-period (P>1 day). The variable stars have V magnitudes ranging between 9.1 to 19.4 mag and periods between 41 minutes to 10.74 days. On the basis of their locations in the H-R diagram, periods and characteristic light curves, the 20 periodic variables belong to the cluster. We classified them as 2 delta-Scuti, 3 gamma-Dor, 2 slowly pulsating B stars, 5 rotational variables, 2 non-pulsating B stars and 6 as miscellaneous variables.
