NGC 6738: Not a real open cluster
A photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic investigation of the poorlystudied open cluster NGC 6738 has been performed in order to ascertainits real nature. NGC 6738 is definitely not a physical stellar ensemble:photometry does not show a defined mean sequence, proper motions andradial velocities are randomly distributed, spectro-photometricparallaxes range between 10 and 1600 pc, and the apparent luminosityfunction is identical to that of the surrounding field. NGC 6738therefore appears to be an apparent concentration of a few bright starsprojected on patchy background absorption.
