| Abstract: | Preliminary results on observations of open clusters are presented. The project has been initiated in the framework of the
Uzbek-Taiwan and Taiwan-Baltic collaboration, mainly to upgrade and make use of facilities at Maidanak Observatory. We present
detailed, multiwavelength studies of the young cluster NGC 6823 and the associated complex nebulosity, to diagnose the young
stellar population and star formation history in the region. In addition, 7 compact open clusters have been monitored for
stellar variability. We show how observations like these could feasibly be used to look for exoplanet transit events. We also
expect to join the Whole-Earth Telescope effort in future campaigns for asteroseismology. |
