A study on the metallicity gradients in the galactic disk using open clusters

We study the metallicity distribution and evolution in the galactic disk based on the largest sample of open star clusters in the galaxy. From the catalog of 1,879 open clusters in the range of galactocentric distance (RGC) from 4 to 20 kpc, we investigate the variation in metallicity in the galacti...
