A revisit to the regions of some van den Bergh open clusters using photometric and astrometric parameters

• We determine astrometric parameter and stellar members of vdB80, vdB85 and vdB130.
• vdB80 and vdB85 astrometric parameters are determined for the first time using UCAC4.
• We find that proper motion errors do not significantly affect astrometric results.
• Astrometric members are compared with the photometric ones given in the literature.

We present results of a study that combines photometry and astrometry for the open clusters vdB80, vdB85 and vdB130. We apply a model which analyses the proper motion distribution and the stellar density to find the kinematic parameters and stellar membership in the region of the mentioned open clusters. The astrometric data are obtained from UCAC4 catalogue. For each cluster, we report the centre coordinates, the components of mean proper motion, the angular diameter and the astrometric members. They are: vdB80: α=97°.73938±0°.00846,δ=-9°.66953±0°.01177,μαcosδ=-2.13±0.47mas/yr,μδ=-0.95±0.47mas/yr,12′, 15 members; vdB85: α=101°.71670±0°.00808,δ=1°.34392±0°.01253,μαcosδ=0.89±0.43mas/yr,μδ=3.24±0.43mas/yr,8′, 9 members; vdB130: α=304°.44001±0°.01407,δ=39°.32745±0°.00726,μαcosδ=-4.14±0.25mas/yr,μδ=-5.15±0.25mas/yr,9′, 9 members. We analyse the incidence of the proper motion errors in the determination of the cluster parameters and of the stellar membership and find that they are not significantly changed. We finally compare the astrometric members with the photometric ones given in the literature.
