The young open clusters in the Galaxy.
Abstract
We are presenting a list of 42 young open clusters located in the Galaxy. The plan is to analyze their distribution and characteristics. Forty of those clusters have 0-type stars, which means that their ages are not older than 10 million years. Three spiral arms with a separation among them of about 2 kpc are shown very clearly. A large concentration of clusters in the Carina region has the largest number of 0-type stars. Field 0 and WR stars show the same distribution as compared with the same type stars in young open clusters.
