Abstract:
In this project, our main aim is to study the structure of Milky Way galaxy with the help of open
clusters. We selected 1850 open star clusters from the catalogue of Dias et al. (2002). The
fundamental parameters like age, distance, reddening , longitude, latitude and metallicity are also
acquired from the same catalogue. We also studied the variation of different parameters of the clusters
with Galactic parameters in different quadrants of the Galaxy. Our analysis show that most of the open
clusters located along the spiral arms of our Galaxy.
