    The distance to the young open cluster Westerlund 2 
    Carraro, G.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Majaess, Daniel J.; Baume, G. (EDP Sciences, 2013-07)

    A new X-ray, UBVRIc, and JHKs study of the young cluster Westerlund 2 was undertaken to resolve discrepancies tied to the cluster’s distance. Existing spectroscopic observations for ...

    On the crucial cluster Andrews-Lindsay 1 and a 4% distance solution for its planetary nebula 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Carraro, G.; Moni Bidin, C.; Bonatto, C.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Moyano, M.; Berdnikov, L.; Giorgi, E. (EDP Sciences, 2014-07)
    Andrews-Lindsay 1 is a pertinent open cluster because it may host the planetary nebula (PN) PHR 1315-6555, yet ambiguities linger concerning its fundamental parameters (>50% scatter). New multiband BV JHW1−4 ...

    On the existence of young embedded clusters at high Galactic latitude 
    Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Carraro, G.; Panko, E. A. (Oxford University Press, 2017-05-24)
    Careful analyses of photometric and star count data available for the nine putative young clusters identified by Camargo et al. at high Galactic latitudes reveal that none of the groups contain early-type stars, and most ...

    Strengthening the open cluster distance scale via VVV photometry 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Bidin, C. Moni; Geisler, D.; Borissova, J.; Minniti, D.; Bonatto, C.; Gieren, W.; Carraro, G.; Kurtev, R. (EDP Sciences, 2012-01)
    Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors ≤20% as evaluated from n ≥ 3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedly worse. That impedes such diverse ...
