摘要:

光电UBV测光和恒星计数的先前未研究的疏散星团Collinder 236,补充观测造父WZ车附近的恒星。科林斯236是造父变星的典型星群,其演化年龄为(3.4+-1.1 x10 ^7年),但它与WZ Car的距离为1944+-71 pc,只有预测距离的一半。该星团的红度为E(B-V)~0.26,核半径和冠半径分别为rn~2 arcmin(1.1 pc)和Rc~8 arcmin(4.5 pc)。造父变星不是Collinder 236的一员,但它的空间红化可以确定为E(B-V)=0.268+-0.006s.e。五颗相邻的星星对利用档案资料研究的WZ Car的年代变化进行了修正。WZ Car的周期正在增加,其速率为+8.27+-0.19 s yr^(-1),这与不稳定带的第三次穿越相一致。

英文摘要:

Photoelectric UBV photometry and star counts are presented for the previously unstudied open cluster Collinder 236, supplemented by observations for stars near the Cepheid WZ Car. Collinder 236 is typical of groups associated with Cepheids, with an evolutionary age of (3.4+-1.1)x10^7 years, but it is 1944+-71 pc distant, only half the predicted distance to WZ Car. The cluster is reddened by E(B-V)~0.26, and has nuclear and coronal radii of rn~2 arcmin (1.1 pc) and Rc~8 arcmin (4.5 pc), respectively. The Cepheid is not a member of Collinder 236 on the basis of location beyond the cluster tidal radius and implied distance, but its space reddening can be established as E(B-V)=0.268+-0.006 s.e. from 5 adjacent stars. Period changes in WZ Car studied with the aid of archival data are revised. The period of WZ Car is increasing, its rate of +8.27+-0.19 s yr^(-1) being consistent with a third crossing of the instability strip.
