ABSTRACT In this study, we characterized 16 objects previously classified as faint or low-contrast Galactic open clusters (OCs). We employed parameters associated with the dynamical evolution of the OCs: the core (rc), tidal (rt) and half-mass (rhm) radii, age and crossing time (tcr). Relations amon...
