ABSOLUTE PROPER MOTIONS OF 331 OPEN CLUSTERS . ... The proper motions of stars in the fields of 331 open clusters were taken from Four-Million Star Catalog (4M-catalog) of positions and proper motions (Volchkov et al. ... The absolute proper motions for 21 young open clusters have been derived by comparison of precise relative proper motions of individual stars and their corresponding absolute proper motions. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...
