In this work, we investigate the dynamical properties of 38 Galactic open clusters: 34 of them are located at low Galactic latitudes (|b| < 10\(^{\circ}\)) and are projected against dense stellar fields; the other 4 comparison objects present clearer contrasts with the field population. We determ...
