219. Open clusters: numbers

Of the 3000 open clusters catalogued pre-Gaia, nearly two thirds have now been shown to be chance overdensities, while Gaia's census today lists around 14,000. I describe how open clusters are distributed throughout our Galaxy, how they relate to the spiral arms, and the interesting class of binary clusters.

Abstract

Of the 3000 open clusters catalogued pre-Gaia, nearly two thirds have now been shown to be chance overdensities, while Gaia's census today lists around 14,000. I describe how open clusters are distributed throughout our Galaxy, how they relate to the spiral arms, and the interesting class of binary clusters.
