Abstract
It is the purpose of this Thesis to obtain,
photometrically, the distances of five open clusters in the
Milky Way in Carina and to discuss the results in terms of
the spiral structure in the region. None of the clusters had
been studied before and so the choice was, of necessity,
arbitrary. Nevertheless, two of the clusters proved to be
young and thus relevant to such considerations.
The Milky Way in Carina is described in the first
chapter and this is followed by a rather general account of
the photometry. The results for the individual clusters are
given in the third chapter. The spiral structure manifest in
the region is discussed in the fourth in conjunction with the
relevant results obtained in the previous chapter. The
Thesis concludes with formal remarks and recommendations.
References in the text are given in the style preferred
by the Royal Astronomical Society. The kiloparsec is taken
as the unit of distance. Galactic co-ordinates are on the
new system and the superscript 'll’ has been omitted: exceptions
are noted explicitly.
