A UBV and DDO astrophysical study of the open cluster NGC 3532.
Abstract
Photoelectric observations in the UBV and DDO systems have been obtained for 12 stars on the red giant branch of NGC 3532. A mean reddening E(B-V) = 0.07 + or - 0.02 has been determined from the red cluster giants. The results show nearly solar metallicity for NGC 3532, and imply that most of the stars are red giants in the core helium burning stage of evolution.
