Abstract

We have determined possible cluster members of the nearby open cluster Praesepe (M44) based on J and K photometry and proper motions from the PPMXL catalogue and z photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In total, we identified 893 possible cluster members down to a magnitude of J=15.5mag, corresponding to a mass of about 0.15M_{sun}_ for an assumed cluster distance modulus of (m-M)0=6.30mag (d~182pc), within a radius of 3.5{deg} around the cluster centre. We derive a new cluster centre for Praesepe (RA_centre_=8:39:37, DE_centre_=19:35:02). We also derive a total cluster mass of about 630M_{sun}_, and a 2D half-number and half-mass radius of 4.25 and 3.90pc, respectively.
