Resumen:
We present results obtained from photometric and spectroscopic CCD
observations of 16 previously little-studied objects, cataloged as
galactic open cluster candidates. All observations were carried out at
the Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito (CASLEO, Argentina) and at Las
Campanas Observatory (Chile). A detailed analysis of the observed
color-magnitude diagrams [V vs (B-V), V vs V-I)] and density histograms
of the 16 objects--mostly located in the direction to the galactic
center--demonstrate that they are genuine open clusters. We also present
new photometric CCD VI Johnson-Cousins data of 10 template open clusters
with well-known fundamental parameters.
