It is important to understand stellar evolution as well as the chemical composition and structure of the Galactic disk, in which B stars in open clusters play a major role as they are of the most massive and brightest objects in these clusters. The fundamental atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g) of the B stars in the Alpha Persei open cluster (190pc, 50Myrs) have been determined using the Stromgren uvby-β photometric system, with a calibration technique by Napiwotzki et al. (1993)[65]. The method is based on fitting spectral lines of fundamental stars to synthetic spectra based on Kurucz ...
