Knowledge Base Cont. Open Clusters Stars have relatively Same age Similar Chemical Composition Composed of Younger Stars which are bright and can be easily observed Pleiades, Beehive, Perseus (double cluster), M6 cluster, Hyads Pleiades g.jpg g.jpg

Mass Segregation Larger Stars move towards center Smaller stars move towards outer edges KE  mass*speed 2

Minimum Spanning Tree Prim algorithm Can be automated in excel AB C

Using The Minimum Spanning Tree to Trace Mass Segregation quantified mass segregation Richard J. Allison 2009

Metallicity Fe/H Shows amount of fusion that has occurred Shows age

Mass segregation patterns Observations and Theory of Star Cluster Formation Bruce G. Elmegreen

Ages of Globular Clusters Derived From BVRI CCD Photometry Protostellar disks with certain materials are responsible for the mass and location of stars in system Raboud Et al.

Purpose To search for a correlation between metallicity and Mass segregation ratio.

Candidates M39 M29 M103 M52 NGC 457 NGC 663 NGC 7790 NGC 7788 NGC 7209 NGC 7243 Pleiades- M45 Beehive Cluster- M44 Perseus Double Cluster-NGC The Butterfly Cluster or M6 M34 M35 M47 M46 Jewel Box Cluster- NGC 4755 Ptolemy Cluster- M7

Methodology Candidates Candidate Selection based on viewing time and altitude Images obtained using CCD imager Images processed and sharpened using MaxIm DL MST calculated using Prim algorithm Mass Segregation Formula by Richard J Allison Search for correlation between Metallicity and Mass Segregation Metallicity taken from surveys using National Virtual Observatory Distance Calculated using distance modulus
