Resumen:
We apply a Bayesian inference method designed to estimate the parameters of a King profile on ten selected open clusters with data obtained from the Gaia DR2 survey. The clusters are located at various distances, scattered throughout the galactic disk, and spanning a wide age range. Through the application of our membership estimation algorithm pyUPMASK, the input data is cleaned from contaminating field stars previous its processing with the Bayesian framework. The King profile fitting method method allows for an elliptical rotated profile to be fitted on spatial data, resulting in a four parameters solution: rotation angle, eccentricity, core radius, and tidal radius. We plan on extending the results obtained here to as many open clusters as possible, thus creating a homogeneous database of structural parameters estimated through Bayesian inference.
