Young nearby open clusters members photometry

All the data will be made available on a dedicated webpage with interactive plots and a direct link to Aladin and Vizier hosted at the Centre de Donnees de Strasbourg. We derived luminosity functions for all bound clusters and compared them in three age groups of ~50Myr, ~150Myr, and ~600Myr, discussing similarities and differences to constrain their dynamical evolution. Luminosity functions of clusters at 50Myr are more likely similar to each other and show a greater degree of similarity than older clusters.

We explain this observation with the universal luminosity function within the volume of our sample (500pc). Luminosity functions of clusters with ages similar to the Pleiades or Hyades are more diverse, perhaps due to internal dynamical evolution, but more work is needed to provide additional evidence.
