Notes. Age, [Fe/H]CMD, E(B − V), distance from VISCACHA CMD isochrone fitting, [Fe/H]CaT, RVhel from GMOS spectra, μα, and μδ from Gaia EDR3. Distance a follows the definition by Dias et al. (2014), and (α, δ) coordinates are from Bica et al. (2020). ( * )BS 188 was observed under sub-optimal weather conditions, and the resulting isochrone fitting is very sensitive to a handful of stars from the shallow CMD, which could explain the metallicity difference between photometric and spectroscopic [Fe/H] (see Appendix A.1). ( * *)HW 56 is immersed in a dense field (a = 2.397°, the smallest in our sample) that has a very similar CMD as the cluster region; therefore, the statistical decontamination left low-probable member stars on the fainter main sequence region, which may bias the photometric metallicities (see Appendix A.1). These uncertainties do not change the conclusions of this work.
