Abstract

Abstract Spectroscopic determinations of the relative abundances of chemical elements produced in different nuclear-synthesis processes, [el/Fe], are collected for 90 open star clusters of the Galaxy using data from 109 papers published between 1991 and 2015. Information is gathered on the abundances of α-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti), iron-peak element (Fe), slow neutron capture elements (Y, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, and Zr), rapid neutron capture element (Eu), and elements with an odd number of protons (Na, Al). The weighted averages are calculated for the clusters with more than one determination of the abundances of each studied chemical element. Estimates of metallicities are found for 346 clusters. A compiled catalog of the open cluster parameters contains metallicities, positions, ages, velocities, elements of Galactic orbits, and relative abundances of fourteen chemical elements.
