Open Clusters in the log Age vs. MV plane

Abstract

In the log Age vs. integrated absolute magnitude (MV) plane, the open clusters of the Milky Way form a well-defined band parallel to theoretical sequences decribing the passive evolution of Simple Stellar Populations and display a pretty sharp upper threshold in mass (M ~ 2X 104 Msun) over a 4 dex range of ages.
