Abstract

An analysis of the proper motion data and membership probability has been carried out for nine open clusters. The effects of observational errors on the parameters characterizing the frequency distributions of cluster and field stars have been discussed with a view to studying their combined effect on membership assignment of a cluster star. The proper motion estimates of stars in various studies of a clusters are generally in fair agreement.
