A Multi-dimensional Analysis of the Open Clusters NGC 2423 and NGC 2482 with Gaia DR3

This study performed a comprehensive photometric, astrometric, and kinematic analysis of two Hyades-like open clusters, NGC 2423 and NGC 2482, using Gaia DR3 data. Researchers derived fundamental parameters like age (1250 Myr for NGC 2423) and distance. Membership was determined using the UPMASK algorithm based on multi-dimensional space coordinates to assess spatial and kinematic coherence, revealing different mass segregation patterns.
