Abstract
ABSTRACT The study of open star clusters makes us understand a lot about the composition and construction of the Milky Way Galaxy. Thanks to the Gaia DR2 database that helps us to get the genetic members of star clusters using their proper motions and parallaxes, and estimating their physical properties in a very accurate way. This study aims to detect the reasons that make clusters (within 2 kpc) have proper motions completely separated from the background field stars. We studied a large sample of open stellar clusters taken from Dias’s catalogue and drew the vector point diagrams using the astrometric data of Gaia DR2. By visual inspection, we specified 108 objects as separated clusters and 377 ones as melted clusters. We studied their mean parameters in the four galactic quadrants of the Milky Way Galaxy.
