Abstract
In this paper, relation was developed for Hyades stars between a function of the right ascensions and the angular distances from the vertex. The precision criteria of this relation are very satisfactory and a correlation coefficient value of ≃ 1 was found which proves that the attributes are completely related linearly. The importance of this relation was illustrated through its usages as:
-
•a criterion for membership of the cluster,
-
•a generating function for evaluating some parameters of the cluster,
-
•a generating function for the initial values of the vertex equatorial coordinates which could then be improved iteratively using the procedure of differential corrections.
