Notes. (a)References for the E(B–V) reddening adopted from Jackson et al. (2022) for all clusters except for NGC 2477 Rain et al. (2021). (b)GES studies that reference the clusters and or study them without taking membership analysis primarily into account. (c)Updated cluster ages using Gaia data, as listed by Bossini et al. (2019).

References. For the cluster ages, reddening and distances shown here we chose the most recent or most robust estimates for each cluster. Several other studies are further cited here, and age estimates are additionally briefly discussed in the individual notes of Appendix A. (1) Jackson et al. (2022); (2) Kılıçoğlu et al.
