Abstract

 As stars in open star clusters are formed from the same matter at the
same time and have only a small velocity dispersion, it is relatively
easy to identify them from the background stars. In this tutorial, we
will identify the members of the Pleiades kinematically and get an
idea of our success by examining a color-magnitude diagram using
TOPCAT, Aladin, and a few VO services.
