Searching for links between magnetic fields and stellar evolution. I. A survey of magnetic fields in open cluster A- and B-type stars with FORS1
Context: .About 5% of upper main sequence stars are permeated by astrong magnetic field, the origin of which is still matter of debate. Aims: . With this work we provide observational material to studyhow magnetic fields change with the evolution of stars on the mainsequence, and to constrain theory explaining the presence of magneticfields in A and B-type stars. Methods: . Using FORS1 inspectropolarimetric mode at the ESO VLT, we have carried out a survey ofmagnetic fields in early-type stars belonging to open clusters andassociations of various ages. Results: . We have measured themagnetic field of 235 early-type stars with a typical uncertainty of 100 G. In our sample, 97 stars are Ap or Bp stars. For thesetargets, the median error bar of our field measurements was 80 G.A field has been detected in about 41 of these stars, 37 of which werenot previously known as magnetic stars. For the 138 normal A and B-typestars, the median error bar was 136 G, and no field was detected in anyof them.
| Absolute proper motions of open clusters. I. Observational data
Mean proper motions and parallaxes of 205 open clusters were determinedfrom their member stars found in the Hipparcos Catalogue. 360 clusterswere searched for possible members, excluding nearby clusters withdistances D < 200 pc. Members were selected using ground basedinformation (photometry, radial velocity, proper motion, distance fromthe cluster centre) and information provided by Hipparcos (propermotion, parallax). Altogether 630 certain and 100 possible members werefound. A comparison of the Hipparcos parallaxes with photometricdistances of open clusters shows good agreement. The Hipparcos dataconfirm or reject the membership of several Cepheids in the studiedclusters.

| Membership, fundamental parameters and luminosity function of the open cluster NGC 5662
New photoelectric UBV photometry of 237 stars brighter than V = 14.0 aswell as DDO and Washington photometry of three red stars in the opencluster NGC 5662 are presented. Nearly one-third of the stars sampledare found to be members of the cluster based on photometric andastrometric indicators. NGC 5662 contains two red giants and twophotometric variable stars. The reddening across the cluster is found tobe variable, the mean value being E(B-V) = 0.31 + or - 0.04. A distanceof (790 + or - 55) pc, an age of 7.9 x 10 to the 7th yr, a metalabundance of Fe/H = - 0.03 + or - 0.13 relative to the sun, and otherfundamental parameters are also derived. On the basis of the improvedcluster parameters derived here, it is concluded that the 5.5 d CepheidV Cen is almost certainly a member of NGC 5662.
| Photoelectric search for CP2-stars in open clusters. XI - NGC 3532 and NGC 5662
Delta-a photometry was carried out for 164 stars in NGC 3532 (the mostpopulous cluster studied so far in this series) and 27 stars in NGC5662. Surprisingly, only one mildly peculiar star (Koelbloed 232) wasidentified this way among the roughly hundred cluster members of NGC3532. Three photometrically peculiar objects were found among theapproximately 60 field stars in the cluster area. This is about theaverage frequency of CP2-stars, in contrast to the pronounced shortageof CP2-stars in the rather old cluster NGC 3532. In NGC 5662 twoCP2-objects, MV6 and MV10, were identified. MV6, however, is a probablenonmember based on its proper motion data. As in some previous casesagain a negative Delta-a object was found with reportedBe-characteristics (NGC 5662-MV29).
