The novelty of our approach is a refined -- and magnitude-dependent -- modelling of the parallax distribution of the field stars. We employ the here-derived list of members to estimate the cluster's mean systemic astrometric parameters, which are based on the most recent Gaia's catalog (EDR3).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-16T09:15:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "astrometric star-cluster membership probability", "gaia edr3", "application", "clusters mean systemic astrometric parameters" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
