摘要
Using Gaia DR3 data, we revisit 56 high Galactic latitude ( divide b divide >= 30 degrees) open cluster (OC) candidates with poor shapes of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), including unclear and paired main sequences (MSs). We aim to confirm their physical reality and explore whether the special MS morphology is intrinsic to genuine OCs. Initially, we redetermine cluster memberships by integrating five outlier detection algorithms into pyUPMASK. However, this work fails to reproduce the 56 clusters. Instead, we find an alternative set of 56 clusters, six of which are non-duplicates. To ascertain whether the six clusters are real OCs, we build synthetic CMDs to derive reliable cluster properties, including fundamental parameters, binary fraction, and mass of the cluster. Subsequently, we investigate the structural parameters and the age-mass and mass-radius relations of the six candidate OCs. Finally, we utilize a multidimensional approach, incorporating cluster properties, spatial structure, kinematic attributes, and CMD verification, to assess their physical reality as genuine OCs further. Our results suggest that the six candidates should be physical OCs, exhibiting well-defined CMD characteristics. Moreover, we discover two of the six OCs as potential binary clusters.
