Abstract:

We present BVI photometry for Trumpler 5, a rich open cluster located in the Galactic anticenter. The cluster age is slightly lower than the age of M 67. Its distance modulus (m-M)₀ and reddening E(B-V) are estimated at 12.4 and 0.58, respectively. These values were obtained for the assumed solar metallicity of the cluster. Our data indicate that Tr 5 is one of the richest objects among the sample of known old open clusters. The total mass included only in upper-main sequence stars exceeds 3000 $m_{\odot}$ . The angular diameter of the cluster is estimated at 11.6 arcmin, which corresponds to a linear size of about 20 pc for an estimated distance $d\approx 3.0$ kpc.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
