Overlapping Open Clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 Behind the Taurus Dark Clouds. II. CCD Photometry in the Vilnius System
Seven-color photometry in the Vilnius system has been obtained for 420stars down to V = 16 mag in the area containing the overlapping openclusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 in Taurus. Spectral and luminosityclasses, color excesses, interstellar extinctions and distances aregiven for 287 stars. The classification of stars is based on theirreddening-free Q-parameters. 18 stars observed photoelectrically wereused as standards. The extinction vs. distance diagram exhibits thepresence of one dust cloud at a distance of 175 pc which almostcoincides with a distance of other dust clouds in the Taurus complex.The clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 are found to be at the same distanceof ~ 760 pc and may penetrate each other. Their interstellarextinction A_V is 1.06 mag which corresponds to EB-V = 0.34mag.
| 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.

| The overlapping open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758. II. $\vec BVR photographic photometry and proper motions
Astrometry (positions and proper motions) and photographic BVRphotometry were determined from a set of 29 photographic plates and CCDdata in a region of 2.3(deg}x2.3({deg)) in the area of open clusters NGC1750 and NGC 1758 in Taurus. The iterative central overlap algorithm wasused for the proper motion calculations. Plate-to-plate transformationsand astrometric magnitude effects are discussed in detail. CCD datainteract with photographic material in three different ways: for theelimination of astrometric magnitude effects, for the photometricstandard calibration of photographic plates and for building a CCDpseudo-plate used for astrometric purposes as any other photographicplate. A preliminary analysis of the resulting photometric andastrometric catalogue confirmed the reality of two different clusters inthe zone (NGC 1750 and NGC 1758). There were no indications for theexistence of NGC 1746.

| Determination of proper motions and membership of the open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758
The kinematic state of the open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 has beenstudied using newly determined proper motions for 540 stars in a fieldof 1.5 deg x 1.5 deg in the Taurus dark cloud region. The proper motionsare obtained from the reduction of PDS measurements of 20 plates thatspan a total time interval of 68 years, resulting in an average propermotion accuracy of 0.67 mas/yr. These proper motions are used todetermine the membership probabilities of stars in the region by meansof a new, improved method described in this paper. Of the 540 starsanalyzed here, 332 are found to be probable members of NGC 1750, and 23are probable members of NGC 1758. The core radii of NGC 1750 and NGC1758 are determined to be 17'2 and 2'25 respectively.

We publish 734 radial velocities of stars distributed in 28 fields of4x4deg. We continue the PPO series (Fehrenbach et al. 1987; Duflot etal. 1990 and 1992), using the Fehrenbach objective prism method.
| Probable open clusters NGC 1750 and NGC 1758 behind the Taurus dark clouds
The area of 2.5 x 2.5 deg in the direction of the Taurus dark cloudscontaining stellar groupings NGC 1746, NGC 1750, and NGC 1758 isinvestigated in the Vilnius photometric system. Magnitudes V, colorindices, color excesses, interstellar extinctions, and distances aredetermined for 116 stars, some of which are as faint as V = 13. It isconcluded that NGC 1746 is probably not a cluster. Other two groupingsof stars, NGC 1750 and NGC 1758, if real, may be open clusters at 510and 680 pc distances. Interstellar reddenings E(B-V) of both groups are0.42 and 0.37 mag, respectively. The distance of the Taurus dark cloudsin the area is found to be 175 pc, i.e. by 45 pc larger than in otherdirections farther to the south from the galactic equator.
| The local system of early type stars - Spatial extent and kinematics
Published uvby and H-beta photometric data and proper motions arecompiled and analyzed to characterize the structure and kinematics ofthe bright early-type O-A0 stars in the solar vicinity, with a focus onthe Gould belt. The selection and calibration techniques are explained,and the data are presented in extensive tables and graphs and discussedin detail. The Gould belt stars of age less than 20 Myr are shown togive belt inclination 19 deg to the Galactic plane and node-lineorientation in the direction of Galactic rotation, while the symmetricaldistribution about the Galactic plane and kinematic properties (purecircular differential rotation) of the belt stars over 60 Myr oldresemble those of fainter nonbelt stars of all ages. The unresolveddiscrepancy between the expansion observed in the youngest nearby starsand the predictions of simple models of expansion from a point isattributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of interstellar matter.
| Radial velocities for early type stars in six galactic regions
Coudespectroscopy has been carried out for 353 stars of spectral typesB0-A0 and V magnitudes between 6.5 and 10.8 m, selected in six regions(three northern and three southern) close to the galactic plane at thegalactic longitudes 135, 175, 315 and 350 deg. The radial velocitieswere obtained by cross-correlating each spectrogram with a referencespectrogram giving an internal error of 1.4 km/s.
