| Abstract : | Open clusters are not trivial stellar systems. Their dynamical evolution is not yet fully understood. They are excellent targets to understand issues related to galactic structure, stellar population, dynamical evolution, and star formation process in the Galaxy. We present new UBVRI photometry of two open star clusters i.e., for King 6 and Trumpler 3. The data is collected from 104-cm Sampurnanand Optical Telescope, ARIES Nainital, using 2k x 2k CCD which covers about 13 x 13 arcmin2 field on the sky. We could reach down to ~ 21 mag in V band. GAIA DR3 archival astrometric data is used to determine membership probability, mean proper motion and parallaxes for the member stars of the target field. These may be used to determine the fundamental parameters (Reddening, age, distance), structural parameters, mass function and mass segregation for the objects. The CCD photometry for King 6 is being reported for the first time. |
