NGC 6811 CCD UBVRI photometry

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the results of CCD UBVRI observations of the open cluster NGC 6811 obtained on 18th July 2012 with the 1m telescope at the TIBITAK National Observatory (TUG).

Description

Using these photometric results, we determine the structural and astrophysical parameters of the cluster. The mean photometric uncertainties are better than 0.02 mag in the V magnitude and B-V, V-R, and V-I colour indices to about 0.03mag for U-B among stars brighter than magnitude V=18.

Cluster member stars were separated from the field stars using the Galaxia model of Sharma et al. (2011ApJ...730....3S) together with other techniques. The core radius of the cluster is found to be r_c_=3.60arcmin. The astrophysical parameters were determined simultaneously via Bayesian statistics using the colour-magnitude diagrams V versus B-V, V versus V-I, V versus V-R, and V versus R-I of the cluster.

The resulting most likely parameters were further confirmed using independent methods, removing any possible degeneracies. The colour excess, distance modulus, metallicity and the age of the cluster are determined simultaneously as E(B-V)=0.05+/-0.01mag, {mu}=10.06+/-0.08mag, [M/H]=-0.10+/-0.01dex and t=1.00+/-0.05Gyr, respectively. Distances of five red clump stars which were found to be members of the cluster further confirm our distance estimation.
