Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Presentamos fotometrıa de Washington de candidatas a gigantes rojas de los cumulos abiertos NGC 1817 y NGC 2251. Estrellas del campo y gigantes del cumulo se separan en base a velocidades radiales publicadas. Determinamos temperaturas efectivas y metalicidades para cada estrella en ambos cumulos. A partir de nuevos datos fotometricos UBV y DDO, determinamos tambien enrojecimiento y metalicidad de NGC 2251. Las abundancias medias resultantes son [Fe/H] = -0.33 ± 0.08 y -0.20 ± 0.05 para NGC 1817 y NGC 2251, respectivamente. Al examinar las propiedades globales de 30 cumulos proyectados hacia el anticentro galactico con distancias, edades y metalicidades conocidas, no encontramos evidencia sobre un gradiente perpendicular al plano ni sobre una relacion entre la edad y la metalicidad, aunque derivamos un gradiente radial de -0.093 kpc −1 dentro de 14 kpc de distancia galactocentrica. Este valor practicamente no cambia cuando se consideran todos los cumulos con parametros conocidos a la fecha. We present Washington photometry for red giant candidates in the open clusters NGC 1817 and NGC 2251. Published radial velocities are used to separate field stars from cluster giants. Effective temperatures and metal abundances are derived for each star. From new UBV and DDO photometric data, we also derive reddening and metal content for NGC 2251. The resulting mean metallicities are [Fe/H] = -0.33 ± 0.08 and -0.20 ± 0.05 for NGC 1817 and NGC 2251, respectively. We reexamine the overall properties of a sample of 30 clusters in the Galactic anticenter direction with distances, ages and metallicities available. This cluster sample presents no evidence of an abundance gradient perpendicular to the Galactic plane, nor is an age-metallicity relation found. However, a radial abundance gradient of -0.093 dex kpc −1 is derived over a Galactocentric distance of 14 kpc. This value practically does not change when all clusters with basic parameters known up to this date are considered. Fil: Parisi, Maria Celeste. Universidad Nacional de Cordoba.
