Description
The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based data set for hundreds of open clusters, and constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical parameters using the SDSS/APOGEE survey. We present the sample and methods being used by the survey to determine membership for the few-star sampling for most clusters as observed by the SDSS/APOGEE. We present verification of the membership method using the DR13 sample, and show an extension of the method by incorporation of proper motion and parallax data from the ESA Gaia mission.This work is supported by an NSF AAG grant AST-1311835.
