5 Conclusions

We have presented the first CCD UBVI observation of the Probable Open Cluster Remnants NGC 7036 and NGC 7772.
Our analysis suggests that:

It is worth noting that the present results must be considered with some caution, and that the list of members must be better constrained by determining individual star radial velocities and proper motions. In this way these objects can become templates for N-body simulation aimed at investigating the dynamical evolution of open star clusters and the origin of the field star population
