Contents
1.Astronomical data globalization
principles practice achievements
2.Open clusters and data globalization
Pre-Hipparcos status and current activity Our project ASCC OC as example
3.Prospects
1.1. Globalization of stellar data: principles
All-sky coverage
Completeness and high resolution at some depth
Uniformity of data structure over the sky
High precision Homogeneity of stellar data systems over all sky
Accessibility
1.2. Realization of the celestial system as a major aspect of the globalization
Realization of all-skycoordinate & photometric systems:
Hipparcos/Tycho missions
Extension of the systems to fainter stars:
High precision measuring machinesautomated telescopes
1.4. Practical globalization. Example2: brightness distribution
ASCC-2.5
UCAC2
2MASS and
UCAC2(black points)
SSS
USNO-B1.0 and
USNO-A2.0(black points)
1.5. Practical globalization. Example 3: CMD diagrams
1.5. Practical globalization.
Example 4: proper motions

USNO-B1.0 and SSS (black)
2.0 Open clusters and data globalization
in the pre-Hipparcos era in the post-Hipparcos era
Dias et al. (on-line): compilation of about 1700 open cluster data;
Platais et al. 1998: 15 new clusters/stellar groups, Hipparcos;
Alessi et al. 2003, 2004: 11+~50 new clusters, Tycho-2;
Bica et al. 2003:~350 new IR candidates of clusters/stellar groups, 2MASS;
Drake (2005): 7 candidates of clusters, USNO-A2;
Kharchenko, Piskunov et al. 2005:parameters of 520 known and 130 new clusters, ASCC-2.5 (the sample is complete up to 850 pc);
Kumar et al.(2006): over 60 candidates of embedded clusters in 2MASS;
Kronberger et al. (2006): 24 candidates from DSS images analysis.
A total of 1200 clusters known by 1988 (Lynga , Lund Catalogue rel.5);
For about 1200 clusters apparent diameters (eye-estimated from POSS charts or defined by the size of detector FOV) were given;
About 400 clusters had accurate, but heterogeneous UBV photometry, distance, reddening, age;
Kinematics: heterogeneous proper motions and RVs. Less than 100 clusters with PM in FK4 and RV. The 3-d velocities are available for a few tens of clusters only;
No idea on the degree of completeness in cluster statistics;
No way to study the population of stellar associations, extended clusters and loose groups (except nearby OB associations).
2.1.Open cluster specifics and all-sky catalogues
Successful search/study of various issues of open clusters requires:
Object list completeness in dense sky areas
Multi dimensionality of data (variety of data types)KinematicsPhotometrySupplementary data
Data sufficiency for all clusters:Coordinates, PM, 2color photometry 100 %VR, Sp.Classes/3 color photometry (reddening) 10 %
High data accuracy over full magnitude range
2.2. Open clusters: practice of globalization(ASCC OC project)
The Sample:513 known clusters 7 known associations130 newly detected clusters 2 large nearby clusters
3.1. Further steps Developing the success on available data basis
Further exploration of current resources: ASCC: new cluster parameters: segregation, tidal radii, massesUCAC: new clusters & new cluster parameters, 2MASS: new clusters & new cluster parameters,
Extending photometry basis:
ASCC+2MASS: ASCC cluster sample increase by 15%
Extending accurate Proper Motion space dimension:
AC+2MASS: ASCC cluster sample increase by >50%
Extending Radial Velocity space dimension:
ASCC+RAVE: 25% increase of the RV sample
3.2. Quality leap: waiting for GAIA
Current resources unable to provide completeness in:
data (RVs, extinction/distances/ages) for more than 2/3 of known OCs
space beyond 1 kpc-neighbourhood (effectively beyond Sagittarius and Perseus spiral arms)
