Abstract content

Open clusters are concentrations of dense matter and young stars. It is expected that non-thermal processes play important role in these objects due to the observations of non-thermal X-ray emission and directional coincidence with some uniEGRET sources. We calculate the gamma-ray spectra expected from the open cluster Ber 87 assuming that hadrons and leptons are accelerated inside this object.
