Abstract
We present the results of a comprehensive astrophysical study of a newly discovered open cluster, dubbed Ash-1. Using the third data release of the Gaia space mission, Gaia DR3, Ash-1 was accidentally discovered within the constellation Sagittarius in the field of the poorly studied cluster Majaess 190. Here we present the first estimates of these two clusters’ primary astrophysical properties. The membership probabilities > 0.50 were assigned to both clusters using the pyUPMASK technique. The distances were determined using the parallaxes of the clusters’ members, which were consistent with the isochrone fitting of the color-magnitude diagrams. The ages and distances of Majaess 190 and Ash-1 are found to be 4 ± 0.05 Gyr and 630 ± 20 Myr; 2130 and 1360 (±80) pc, respectively. The extinctions, heliocentric distances, mass function, luminosity function, and overall masses of the studied clusters were also computed. Based on the relaxation times, it appears that both clusters are in a state of dynamic relaxation.
