Neue Versuche zur Bestimmung der scheinbaren Durchmesser von Sternhaufen
Abstract
A statistical method for determining the boundary of star cluster images on photographic plates is described and is applied to a study of NGC 6494. The procedure involves the determination of a distance which satisfies a certain inequality criterion. The procedure depends on the equipartition of the background, and a test of equipartition is explained.
