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.

| A photometric and radial-velocity analysis of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 752
Using all available proper-motion and radial-velocity data, includingnew radial-velocity observations obtained for this investigation,probable members of the open cluster NGC 752 have been identified.Photoelectric data on six systems have been transformed and collated toform an internally consistent sample on the BV system. Binaries havebeen identified using photometric and radial-velocity data, including aphotographic survey for variability and the radial-velocity observationsof this study. Analysis of the data leads to the following clusterparameters and their probable errors: E(B - V) = 0.035 plus or minus0.005 mag, Fe/H = -0.15 plus or minus 0.05 dex, and (m - M) = 8.25 plusor minus 0.10 mag. The spread in color among stars in thecolor-magnitude diagram (cmd) along the main sequence from the turnoffto the unevolved main sequence is the consequence of a rich populationof binaries. Due to its age and the comprehensive data available for thecluster, NGC 752 provides an ideal test of a variety of evolutionaryphenomena. Comparison with theoretical isochrones normalized in aninternally consistent manner leads to the conclusion that the morphologyand distribution of stars in the cmd can best be matched using modelsthat include convective overshoot, particularly those of Schaller et al.(1992, A&AS, 96, 269). Despite their differences, the traditional andthe overshoot isochrones both imply very similar ages, 1.9 plus or minus0.2 Gyr and 1.7 plus or minus 0.1 Gyr, respectively, for the cluster.The Li abundances for the giants confirm that the giant branch isdominated by clump stars and first-ascent giants below the luminosity ofthe clump. The position and size of the Li dip among the main-sequencestars, compared to the Hyades, is readily explained by stellar evolutionwith convective overshoot. It is predicted that among turnoff stars inthe intermediate-age range Li will cease to be a unique function of ageat a given color. Chromospheric flux is shown to be a well-definedfunction of color for single, unevolved stars, identical to that foundfor the Hyades, and the relation for NGC 752 falls within theVaughan-Preston gap. However, the slope of the relation requires thatincreasing color implies increasing age for the bluer portion of theweak-emission boundary. The combined effect of small samples, randomerrors, emission limits, a possible selection bias in favor of turnoffstars, and metallicity corrections is to render highly questionable anyinterpretation of time-variable star formation within the Galaxy basedupon chromospheric ages.
