Descripción
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III/Apache Point Observatory Galactic
Evolution Experiment (SDSS-III/APOGEE) is a large-scale spectroscopic
survey of Galactic stars and star clusters. The SDSS-III/APOGEE survey
is designed to produce high-S/N, R = 22,500 spectra that cover a
wavelength range of 1.51 to 1.68 microns. By utilizing APOGEE's
excellent kinematics (velocity errors = 0.2 km/s) and abundances (errors
0.1 dex). We can study star cluster kinematics and chemical properties
in detail. In this poster we present an analysis of 16 confirmed and
candidate open clusters targeted in the APOGEE "first light”
field, in the constellation of Cygnus. The APOGEE data are used to
determine cluster membership and metallicities allowing for improved or
first determinations of basic cluster parameters (age, chemistry,
distance, reddening).
