| Popis | Clusterix 2.0 is a web-based, Virtual Observatory compliant, interactive tool for the determination of membership probabilities in stellar clusters based on proper-motion data using a fully non-parametric method. In an area occupied by a cluster, the frequency function is made up of two contributions: cluster and field stars. The tool performs an empirical determination of the frequency functions from the vector point diagram without relying on any previous assumption about their profiles. Clusterix 2.0 allows us to search the appropriate spatial areas in an interactive way until an optimal separation of the two populations is obtained. Several parameters can be adjusted to make the calculation computationally feasible without interfering with the quality of the results. The system offers the possibility to query different catalogues, such as Gaia, or upload a user's own data. The results of the membership determination can be sent via SAMP to VO tools such as TOPCAT. |
